"I want cheap plant hangers," I thought, "so I'll find some DIY macrame patterns on the internet."

*every pattern is hyper-monetized, full of ads, and requires a separate purchase of one or more explainer pdfs and signing a noncompete*

Well, heck. What do?

"Oh wait," I said, "I live near a uni library that existed in the 1970s."

*uni library is full of vintage how-to books, free, no waiting or signups*

the LC call number for macrame is TT840, apparently.
