Yes, it's really annoying. Still, at least it happened when I am mostly stuck at home anyway.

I did do the plant holder. It came out pretty well considering that the yarn in the kit was stretchy. That seemed like a bit of an odd choice for macrame as tension is important. I don't know how it will go with a plant in - but I was planning on getting something at the gardeners market, so I guess that won't be a question that gets answered any time soon :-). I have a photo I took - maybe I'll try texting it to you.
