But the beautiful traditional Asian designs and pattern graphs in Otfried's book got me going again. I wove a band with motifs found in the traditional Persian diaper bands, and am looking forward to weaving one with Burmese motifs. I have a friend who wanted to learn to weave letters to make an inscription band in memory of a friend who died. She comes over every Wednesday night, bringing her band clamped to her 4-foot board, and during this learning stage usually weaves one or two letters each time. We are often quiet, just concentrating on our own work. This is something I have begun to really look forward to each week. Today I am up to the "r" on the Textura Quadrata alphabet graphed by Michael Cook. Since Sept. 11, my ideas for the alphabet book, "Please Weave a Message" have been changing from one containing graphs for mostly Roman fonts into something more inclusive (and more time-consuming and difficult to do!) including graphs for other alphabets along with woven messages of peace, hope, and compassion.
