Weaving is traditional art-form of many Native American peoples. We all worked on various types of weavings. Some people made regular up and down weavings using a standard loom, while others worked circular weavings or wrap around weavings that will be turned into pouches later. I have had no weaving experience prior to this workshop, so I decided to do the standard loom.

Thanks! It's actually quite simple and theraputic (and I enjoyed it much more than knitting)...maybe I can show you sometime!
