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!

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 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 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!

I follow your posts from afar! I especially enjoy your tutorials and find them helpful when planning for my own classes.
This may be the first time I'm leaving a comment, and yes, the freebie book is added incentive to comment!
