Have you ever wanted to try loom weaving? Do you already do some weaving and would like to try more styles? This lovely book by Sara Lamb may be just what you've been looking for: an introduction to loom weaving that will take you from the most basic beginner steps through more projects that grow in complexity as you make your way through the book.
Sara teaches seven different handmade bag projects to guide you through the entire process, from concept and planning all the way to personalizing and embellishing. There is an excellent materials and equipment section in the beginning of the book, and along the way you will be treated to information on the history of folk weaving techniques.
Is it time for you to learn to weave? Just leave me a comment below, and in a week I will randomly pick a winner to receive this exciting book!

I may not comment a whole lot, but you're definitely one of the highlights of my blog reading.
Okay, talk about a coincidence... I am currently reading a book that has a female character with turquoise hair! And I love your pear quilt, quite lovely!

My brother gave me a table loom and I've never used it because I don't know how. This book might be just what I need to get started. Thank you for the opportunity to win it!
Ooh I SO want to do weaving. I've just not had the guts to try it yet :) Now here's a chance to win a good looking book about it - how could I not comment? ;)
What a lovely giveaway! I have always wanted to someday learn to weave but have been intimidated by the wealth of information out there. This would be fantastic to win!
Looks like a lovely book. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have wanted to learn how to weave since I was a little girl and a teacher said I was too young and wouldn't teach me!!! I would love to win this book!!!!
Weaving looks so relaxing and sort of romantic.
I have friends who took weaving class and loved it! It seems so cool to be able to actually make your own fabric.
I have always wanted to weave. I have attempted it a couple of times but never got anything finished. ;-)
Oh joy! I love free things, and this book is one that has been on my list since I first heard of it!
I would like to make a floor rug from some of my older and not my size now clothing. Maybe this book will give me the 'how to do it'.

i would love to explore the process of weaving. we probably have all woven those potholders from when we were kids. now, it's time to grow up! rush8888 at att dot net.
I don't have a loom yet, but jury-rigged a wood frame and some shuttles. Would love a copy of the book. Thanks!
Oh my! Another thing to learn ... exciting is a mild word to use to explain my feeling. I've admired weavers for years and wondered if I could ever learn such a wonderful craft. Lovely -- and thank you for being so generous as to give a book away!
