About the Author

Casey Alberti is the founder of Sweet Home Alberti, a business selling macrame items and lessons, based in the Pacific Northwest. She first learned to create macrame in 2019, and soon found that she couldn't stop knotting and had more plant hangers than plants. Previously a stay-at-home mother of four, Casey started an Etsy shop, and soon, it was thriving. Casey's work has been featured online, including on Etsy. She enjoys the community of artists she's formed and with whom she shares her work and advice for starting a small business. Visit Casey online at sweethomealberti.com and @sweethomealberti.
