Using 2 pick-up sticks and plenty of patience, Elisabeth Hill wove her truly spectacular Taconic Tonic Scarf for Handwoven Loom Theory.

Weave a pet—all it takes is a pin loom, a few put-ups of yarn, and a copy of Zoo Crew. While these pin-loom pets are certainly not the same as the real deal, there are a few ways in which they surpass their flesh-and-blood counterparts.

Don't think you can't weave when sports are on? You can.

To be honest, as I write this, I’m still weaving my scarf. I brought my loom to work and weave a little each day, mostly in the afternoons when I’m not feeling that lively and need some downtime to process my day.

Is anyone else like this? I am an absolute sucker for sparkly yarns. If it has sequins, glitter, or just an overall metallic look, I want it.

In Sara Goldenberg’s Street Smart scarf, from Handwoven Loom Theory: Rigid-Heddle Scarf Collection, she combines color-and-weave with just a bit of pick-up to create a scarf that is thoroughly modern, completely classic, and wonderfully warm.

Jenny Sennott’s project Two Sweet Blue Towels are the perfect project for learning pick-up. Each towel has a different pick-up pattern, and both are short and simple to follow.

In addition to smooth yarns, this handspun scarf includes inlaid textures such as silk roving, wool roving, Angelina fibers, sari silk, and recycled yarn. Let your eye guide you, and put texture in as much or little as you like.

The Glamp Shawl shows that plain weave can be anything but plain! The color-and-weave patterns in the shawl look complex, and to be sure, they do take a bit more concentration than warping and weaving with only one color, but the end result is worth it.
