After trying some materials I had at home and not finding anything satisfying, I did a panic buy of #macrame cord to be used in the drawstring backpacks I'm making as gift wrappers, from an online shop.
Since I was already late and didn't have time to get another delivery if the one I bought didn't work, I selected a few different types, just to be sure.
Of course, the type I had most hope for worked just fine, so now I have ~100 m balls of 3 different types of macramé cords I don't have a project for.
Right now I should be finishing my breakfast, taking care of the laundry and finishing the last drawstring backpack.
Can you guess what I'm doing instead?
Why, of course I'm attempting a macramé chatelaine bag.
No, I'm not using a pattern.
No, I haven't done macramé before (but I've done lots of friendship bracelets in the past).

I believe I've done something wrong, since I've used way more rope than the internet tells me is typical for an average project, so I'll either have a lot of leftovers, or a result that is denser than usual.
As a learning thing, I'm fine with either.
