My co-worker came to work yesterday all excited, she had been at a neighborhood get together the night before.
One of the ladies was stick weaving, she was going to make some weaving sticks this weekend.
I did a google search and found a little on it.

Does anybody do this?
I'm thinking of making myself 6 sticks this weekend and play around with it.
Just curious...

The specialty yarns add so much to the project.
The green one to the left is wool yarn in the upper picture, I boiled it when I finished it...
Shrank A LOT!
Just an experiment...

Is it similiar to loom knitting? I saw a book yesterday at the bookstore on it, but it was from the early 70s and the projects in it were really horribly ugly, so I didn't even look closely at the technique...

Oh, cool. I think I might introduce that at our next KnitWits meeting!! (We don't necessarily stick to knitting all the time.) Even the most challenged ampong us should be able to do this!
I love your scarves Karen!!

Well, I've been playing with the stick weaving for a little bit now and have been making some scarves and collars.
It's nice for a car project or something to take that's portable.
I also found it's fairly mindless and can converse easily while weaving.
Here are a few of my pieces...
It's kinda addictive...

We taught this to our girl scouts, years ago, then last year my GD came home from school with one they had made .
Hers were made on straws.
I think we did them on dowels, if I remember right.

I'm going to have to try this, my mom made me a shawl on a tri-loom her and dad built, but I've never seen this before. I've seen the card weaving. This would be great to do in my get-away cabin. Thanks for sharing!
