This was a very interesting project because of how it came together. My friend was coming for a visit, and needed to relax. I thought she might like to have a hand woven item - but then it dawned on me - would it not be more meaningful if it was something we did together. I had a stash of hand-spun two ply in two different colours, and offered it to her. She had never wove before so it was really neat to start from scratch. I had never done a cooperative weaving project so for me this was going to be something totally new too.
We talked about pattern, colour, arranging the bands of colour, how the weave comes together - it was as much fun for me as I think it was for her. We worked together on the project for the week that she was here and with time to spare finished the blanket.
