Starting to Weave

Yep, I'm taking Intro to Weaving :]

It's actually a lot of fun and I quite like it...however, I quickly discovered that I have a tendency to like a lot of the hand manipulated designs and that I'm rather slow at it...so it takes me a bit of time to complete my pieces....

This is often what my station/loom looks like while I'm working...



Here is the first weaving we did which was really just to get us used to using a loom...


This pattern with these colors remind me of watermelons...




This is our newest project that we've been working on...

First our sample/experimental section (1 yard long):




And the actual piece (28 inches long):
yes, I stitched in two doe...


buttons! hand stitching! :D

The stitching still needs to be done on the other end of the piece so expect some -complete- photos of this project to appear soon...
