Same book, only a few Different Patterns, May 29 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hemp Masters - Getting Knotty: Ancient Hippie Secrets for Knotting Hip Hemp Jewelry (Paperback)
Hemp Masters - Getting Knotty: More Ancient Hippie Secrets for Knotting Hip Hemp Jewelryis a "new" book by Max Lunger. The instructions are great, the drawings and photos are also excellent.But for anyone who had bought Hemp Masters: Ancient Hippie Secrets for Knotting Hip Hemp Jewelryand was looking for new knots beyond the basic, this is not the book for you as the first half of Hemp Masters-getting knotty has the exact same instructions, pictures etc from the original Hemp Masters book, word for word, page for page for 32 pages.
The first 14 new projects are just dandified versions of the ones from book One.
-Heavey Colored Switch Necklace: same pattern from book one but one colored cord is added so you have a dual colored choker.
-Proper Purple Chocker: Same choker from book one, colored hemp added.
So you get the idea.
The last nine patterns are pretty cool and very patriotic. The USA Strong Arm Band, The USA Mirror Charm, Sprit of America Flag and the Lacy USA Bracelet are neat. The other patters are just different bracelet and choker designs w/o the Stars and Stripes.
Pros:
-9 new patterns
-showing you how to add color if you don't know how
-great photos
-nice instructions
-great starter book if you're looking for a knot guide
Cons:
-no new knots, same as first book
-no new patterns(unless you count adding the colored cord)
-not great for experienced knotters unless you want to pay $10 for a few innovative patterns, but once you see the pic you'd know how to do them.
Don't get me wrong I think Max does great work but I think it's a little misleading as advertised as "More" Ancient Hippie secrets. And the actual book, if you look at the cover on the .pdf you'll see that the actual title is: Hemp Masters Getting Knotty: Ancient Hippie Secrets for Knotting hip Hemp Jewelry. My point being Amazon advertized this as "more ancient hippie secrets" when that is actually not the title. And truely you're not getting more, just more of the same(with color cords).

Great for beginners and beyond!, Mar 17 2006
By T. Wickizer "cerridwen33" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hemp Masters - Getting Knotty: Ancient Hippie Secrets for Knotting Hip Hemp Jewelry (Paperback)
This was my first knotting book and I found it very easy to understand. It also explains how to begin and end in very clean ways that other books don't usually show you. Also shows you how to add filler or knotter cords when they start to get short. I particularly enjoyed the phishbone pattern. Very pretty and easy to do projects that look alot more complicated. There's lots of techniques here that you can use and expand on. The writting is not dry like a usual instruction book either. It's personable and fun!

I've been making hemp jewelry for quite a while and i've been looking for new styles to get into, so i bought this book hoping to learn some awesome new braids and it definitley taught me just that! If anyone is looking for a hemp jewelry book in order to learn new styles in making them, this is definitley the book to get. It's perfect.
