A journal of my adventures in the fiber arts. I've played with different wool and fibers, plus different types of weaving, knitting, spinning, felting and more. I tend to gravitate toward primitive types of fiber projects.

Pop goes the potholder
As I tried to finish the edges of the piece, it popped off the loom and some of the loops are unweaving themselves.
Having seen Noreen Crone-Findlay's video on weaving on potholder loom I noticed Noreen used a chopstick to help stabilize the piece. So I thought I would use a chopstick to recover the piece. Here I have restored the weave using the chopstick to catch/hold the loops.
Here is the completed piece. As we see, the elastic of the loops reduces the piece about 50 percent. Time to start the next one.
Have a good day!
