apertures the respective rods are movable the rods may be used to measure the length of cord for any particular macrame project by using the two rods various measurements may be easily accomplished for example the distance between measuring rod 50 and measuring rod 60 is 3 feet and a single loop around the two rods is about 6 feet seven loops around the measuring rods 50 and 60 accordingly measure about 42 feet in fig1 the pins 50 and 60 are illustrated as being disposed substantially centrally with respect to the upper tubing 12 however the user of the apparatus may move the pins to either side for convenience in measuring a plurality of apertures or holes 22 are shown extending through the upper tubing 12 and the lower tubing 30 substantially perpendicular to the apertures through which the measuring pins extend the holes 22 are preferably spaced about 8 inches apart downwardly from adjacent the horizontal arm 14 a hook 24 is shown disposed in one of the apertures 22 the macrame cord may be secured to the hook 24 at a convenient location on the vertically extending tubing as the macrame project continues the hook 24 with the macrame project secured thereto may be raised by removing the hook from one of the apertures 22 and inserting it into another higher aperture 22 in the upper tubing 12 the work accordingly remains at a most convenient height for the user as indicated above the upper tubing and.
