Attached: 1 image 🧵 My #Weaving Journey (rebooted): I rarely get to see my 1st and 2nd woven Andean bands next to each other (1: Left, 2: Right). This photo from 08-Dec-2018 shows where I started. The bands were woven using a thick cotton mini (weft), which I think makes adorable white selvedge polka dots, like beads. ❤️ The yarn is what I call my "duplo" khaitu (bulky wool high-twist 2-ply) for easy-to-see demos. 🙂 #FranquemontUniversity #AndeanBackstrap #BackstrapWeaving #Memorized #AlwaysLearning
