ok, guys, i know this doesn't exactly relate to weaving... but since i am going to be using it to help finish my first piece of weaving into a drawstring bag, i thought i would share...
my husband made me a Lucet from a spare piece of walnut.
it is a simple tool that lets you make good strong cords for drawstrings, etc. i blogged all about it over here... and there is a little contest on there too.
