[Nfb-krafters-korner] stick weaving

[Carol Osmar]

Theresa, My husband has made me a few sets and I agree with Susan that a 
quarter inch is a good size but I also have a set that is much thicker that 
I just made a rag rug on.  I think mine are about nine inches long beccause 
Ed made four from one dowell.  We rubbed wax on mine to make them smoother.

This weekend there is a American Herritage Festival near my home.  Ed and I 
are going to partisipate.  On Friday there will be several groups of school 
children going through.  I am teacching stick weaving to them.  We are using 
drrinking straws for the sticks.  We have punched holes in and threaded yarn 
through about three hundred straws so far.  We have about two hundred more 
to do.  I am going to have them make a bookmark using three straws, and they 
hope to have 150 kids.  This is a great way to use all those little bits of 
yarn I have.

I have a great husband.

Carol
