From: Neil Slater <[email protected]> Subject: [twist-tabletweaving] An unusual use for tablet weaving To: [email protected] Received: Monday, November 16, 2009, 2:25 PM Greetings all: I used to use lamp wick as snowshoe bindings (more years ago than I care to recount...), but I cannot find lamp wick these days, and I fear that what I might find will be only in short lengths. I one have one binding, so I have a model for what I want. I put the one binding on a shelf last month, beside some leftover trim I wove during the summer. Then I noticed that they look very similar. So next time I'm in the mood to tablet weave, I'm going to break out the thin weaving cotton, and weave myself some snowshoe bindings. It won't need to be fancy weaving, but it would be silly to make it all white when I can so easily personalize my snowshoe bindings. It'll be good weaving practice, too since each binding need to be several feet long. Cheers, Neil Slater Regina, Canada __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
