Notes

One thing I love about weaving is the economical use of yarn. I can’t believe how little yarn this used.

I wove 12 squares, pieced them together with a loose overcast stitch that flattened out beautifully, then slip-stitched with crochet hook around entire outside edge.

This is a “meditation mat” for my friend, Diane, who is under a lot of stress as she cares for both her husband and mother as they undergo chemotherapy.

My heart and prayers are with her.

One note about the yarn. It has a beautiful “hand” and weaves to a nice fabric, but it is a bit splitty. I would have given it 4 stars, but I am not happy that it is made in China. I have been focusing on the use of American or European yarns, but forgot to check this until after I had started the project.
