Ever since I’ve started weaving I’ve had many thoughts on how I’ve liked and disliked it. (What I found challenging)

First off, I’d like to say that you can weave anything your mind thinks of! There’s so many possibilities that you have. You can make a bracelet, basket, hat so and much more. When Sharon Kallis came to visit us, she showed us some of the things she made! I’m not sure how long it took her to make this, but she made a boat!

I like that you have so much freedom when you weave. When I was weaving I decided to make lots of circles, big ones and small ones. After, I bonded them together to make big circle. It took hard work but it looks great!

Something that I found challenging is that sometimes when you’re weaving with willow it tends to snap when you’re binding something. That’s why it’s important to choose willow that is easy to bend. Another problem is that if you leave your materials (willow and ivy) without water it can shrivel up and dry. On the other hand, if you put too much water your willow will grow little white roots! (this happened to me before!)

Last thing I’d like to say is that weaving is really fun! I had fun making things and I felt really happy when I completed something.
