New craft

Because I don't have enough crafty diversions to keep my occupied (insert dripping with sarcasm eye roll here), I just purchased the implements to start a NEW, yet cousin, craft!

Weaving sticks. I love weaving...took a class in loom, basket and tapestry weaving in college and it was one of my most favorite classes in all my years there. I can't afford/don't have the space for a floor loom, so I shall try some easy breezy, small equipment needs weaving :)

I figure, it might be something my 5 year old son can do as well, so we can be crafty together! Furthermore, once I get them and see how it works, I might try teaching my downs syndrome Aunt how to do it so she can have a craft to occupy her time :) She recently moved in with my mother and is bored a lot, I think. It looks fairly easy and like it doesn't require a lot of detailed finger manipulation, so I think she should be able to do it :)

Yay for exciting new crafts!

I think it would be an AWESOME way to make purse handles in coordinating yarn that won't stretch out and get all weird like a knit handle :)
