[Kendra Schaber]

Hi Aisha, oops, my bad! It sounded like you currently made something by 
weaving. Well anyway, I'm glad that you are interested in it! If you work 
with wood, you could make a home made loom of the size that you want to make 
it. If not, you could ask your friends if they like working with wood and if 
so, ask one of them to make a loom for you. Just an idea for you to get 
something to use so that you can learn about weaving.
