One of my favorite weaving books

This book is inspirational. The variety of rugs illustrated is enough to keep me going back to it over and over again. It not only gives clear directions for making the illustrated rugs, but it inspires me to design my own.

For the Experienced Only

This book has very nice photographs. I cannot write about the instructions as an experienced person. But, as an inexperience person,new to this field, I haven't the slightest clue on how to comprehend the instructions provided in this book. The instructions are worded with a small graphs at the bottom of the pages. There are no visual, step-by-step instructions in this book. I gave three stars for the photographs and the assumption that the instructions can be appreciated by the experienced weaver and that is to whom this book is marketed to.

With its beautiful and clear illustrations, this guide to rug weaving is an inspiring journey into a world of dazzling color and eye-catching design. From classic stripes to pattern-woven designs, detailed directions are provided for 45 rugs that represent a wide range of weaving techniques. Beginning with stripe and check weaves in simple tabby, the rugs progress in difficulty to intriguing challenges such as chenille, drall, diamond twill, rag inlay, repp, and rosepath weaves. Creative approaches to materials show how to cut strips from favorite old shirts, sheets, and jeans, and the emphasis throughout is on creative flair, imaginative design, and the pleasure of making a one-of-a-kind rug imbued with memories.
