[Nfb-krafters-korner] stick weaving for Theresa

[Susan Roe]

I also found that if I laid a larger number of sticks along the edge of a 
table and let about half the stick extend off the table edge, then set a 
phone book on top of them, it was real easy to get them started.  Once they 
have at least one to two inches of weave on them, you can easily hold the 
sticks in your hand.
