Sometimes learning new things is frustrating. It's true of
almost everything, but I've found this especially true with textiles. I bought
a book called The Woven Bag by Noreen Crone-Findlay. I love this book. It's got
lots of projects that a body actually wants to do, (or at least this body).
So, I started my second weaving project
full of hope and enthusiasm. And as I wove I had grand ideas of my project
turning out like this:
What I got is this:
Obviously, something went terribly wrong. I don't know what.
And that's the frustrating part. Weaving isn't like crochet or knitting or even
sewing. It is nearly impossible to Frog or rip the piece apart. So here we are,
stuck with another square bag. On the bright side, I really like the texture of
the fabric. The loom used is chained off
with a crochet slip stitch and that leaves the project with a nice decorative
seam. I will be trying this bag again. And I am so hoping I am not doomed to
repeat the square bag again.
