I’m back from my break and feeling super inspired and brimming with new ideas 💡✨
I thought I’d do an intro post seeing as I haven’t done one in a while!
My name is Amy and I run Hitch & Arrow with my partner James. I started H&A whilst I was on maternity leave in 2017. In the same year we built a bus to live in 🚌 and we sold our macramé supplies from our bus too!
We’ve been on so many adventures and H&A has looked so different from year to year but I’m so happy with the direction it’s going in and all the plans I still have in store for it!
Some facts about me I don’t think I’ve shared before:
✂️ My first word was scissors. No joke 😂 My mum tells the story that I was so obsessed with them that she ended up saying the word scissors a lot, so eventually I ended up saying it myself 😂 Obviously fated, I use them everyday now 😄🙌🏼✂️
🎶 During university I wrote music reviews for a local magazine (my life hack to get into loads of free gigs when you are a skint student 😉 🎫 ) and I also taught macramé jewellery classes.
📿 My obsession as a teen was not only macramé but beads. Anytime we went to a new town, I’d be straight for the local bead shop to see what delights I could find. There was a magical one in Vermont off the beaten path that sold some amazing ones that I’d love to have made for macramé one day, if I can 🤔 💭
🏴☠️ I’m related to a pirate, about 6 generations back I think it is - maybe that’s where my love of knots came from? Sailors had a lot to do with spreading the art of decorative knot tying across the globe 🌍
So that’s me! Tell me something about you! I’d love to get to know everyone better! 🌸💕☺️

Macrame Hacks - Running out of Rope
What to do when running out of cord! A common issue that we all face as macramé artists 🤓
No matter how careful we are measuring and cutting rope there is the odd time when we come a cropper 😅
First in a series of macramé hacks. This video shows you how you can add cord when doing a run of square knots ➰
Hope you find it helpful! Let me know below in the comments 🥰✨

How do you find your flow? ✨
Flow state is where you are super productive and hyper-focused on an activity.... but it comes easy...it just flows. I find I need certain ingredients to trigger Flow or ‘being in the zone’.
🌸 Time alone - it’s absolutely vital to have minimal distractions (including social media)
🎶Good tunes, especially music with no lyrics - I find Ambient Electronic music with a good beat or cinematic movie soundtracks work really well at shutting my mind off.
🙏🏼 Setting intention with a ritual - this can be as simple as popping some incense on, smudging or making a cup of special tea only used for making times - aim for a calming multi-sensory experience. You then start to associate this with creating.
Do you have your own methods to get yourself in the zone? What music gets you in your flow?
