Weaving: Bag

 

This was quite the adventure but this project broke me. It was a lot. I am not a fan of weaving. I will say it now. But, getting a pedicure and weaving made it fun. 

I added 2 inches to each side of the pillow so it was about 18.5 all the way around. I used a t-square to measure it out. 

My handy cardboard cutter was key! When making a loom for something this large, it's handy to use a heavy-duty cardboard.  MY cutter is the BEST!!

Then I used a 1/2 inch spacing for the warp strings. 

I started with regular yarn and switched to thick yarn. 

I got a pedicure and brought my weaving. That was interesting but it made the process more pleasant. My hands are absolutely killing me. 

I ran out of yarn and took the rest of the afternoon off to get my marriage license in Independence. 

I bought some more yarn and turned on a movie. 

Pirates of the Caribbean is a good series to go through and finish the weaving. 

After I finished beating  the wefts, I added the last of the weaving and started tying it off.

I pulled and tied them off. 

Pull it off the cardboard.

Flipped it inside out...

I tied the strings together and now i have a pillow!
