I'm fairly new to card weaving and to the list, but here's my two
cents' worth. I agree with Peter. I don't think a craft has to be
super popular. Here's why: I've been a knitter and crocheter for 30
years. During that time the price of yarn, in my opinion, was
reasonable. I never gave much thought to the cost of making a
project, large or small. Since the recent resurgence in knitting,
the price of even basic non-designer yarns (I'm not talking 100
percent acrylic here) has made making large projects out of my reach
cost-wise. I recently figured out the cost of making a
knitted afghan using an average grade wool yarn: $142! And I still
have to do all the work! The results of everyone jumping on the
bandwagon can be negative.
Even so, though, I think the point someone made about the lack of
uses of tablet weaving products is valid. Simply for our own
benefit, it would be nice to be able to use our products for more
things. Maybe we should all think hard about this and try to submit
ideas?
