Hi, I am writing this on 3/28/2018, and i was just introduced to this weaving just a few weeks ago. Are you still teaching? I hope so because i have a question, do you have a video on how your get started with a project. I see a lot of them are started with white or what is used for the background, but i have not seen how you set it up. I have a friend that has a sewing and quilting and knitting store and going to add this weaving. She has a worker that does it at home and will teach. I am not sure if i am going to like it as i have not see it in person. The day they had a introduction i was not able to attend as it was just a few days notice that i even see the newsletter about it. I broke my right arm and shoulder in three places last Sept and i was still doing PT until a few weeks ago because of my insurance. I know this would be alot of work for my arm, but while my arm and shoulder were healing from the fractures I got frozen shoulder. I did have it on my other side back in 2003 so i knew my dos and don't. I think it will be a plus for me at the same time trying a new craft. Could you please let me know if your still teaching and if you could direct me to how that very first thread or yarn is places. In the video above you have several white strands of yarn going vertically and then you start the pattern horizontily with the yard. I think i understand the concept, but i want to understand how you set up those verticle strands of yarn, almost like the y are your background for this project. i would like to learn more before i commit to purchasing one of these weave looms, and i hope that is the correct name for them. I hope your still teaching as i liked where you were so calm in showing what the next step was and explaining it as you went along. Thank you Kathy
+Kimm Austin No you don't have to use a knitting needle. You can use a pick up stick, (I made some with painters stir sticks--you need to sand smooth) or you can use a flat stick shuttle. A knitting needle only works when you are making warp floats and using a pick up stick in the up and pick up stick position. I used a knitting needle so that it took up less room when I left it in to use the second stick.
Wow, looks pretty and seems simple enough so a weaver who's never used pick up sticks could mange it. Thanks!
That is amazing! I had no idea such fancy patterns could be woven on such simple looms! Ingenious!
Clever use of a knitting needle. I’ll have to remember this one.
Thanks so much!
This is so clear I decided to follow this as my first project using pickup sticks.
Great tutorial and very easy to follow. The knitting needle is a great idea by the way and I have a ton of them!
Finally a great video on pickup sticks. Now it makes sense to me. Thanks so much.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Excellent video. You are a very good teacher
Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing this.
thanks, great video, nice and simple
Good clear instructions thank you

Very well explained.
Thank you!

Lástima que no tengas un plano más amplio.

id have taken that salvage off the pick up stick so you don't have to work round it so much
Do you have to used a knitting needld for the pick up sick a or can you used shuttle

When you are doing the pick up stick are you in the down position or neutral position?
Sorry, you said at the very end that the heddle is in the down position. Lol answerd my own question.
Que lástima que esté en inglés!!!
Hermoso ,pero ojola en español
