Once you get the hang of weaving with 1 pick-up stick, adding a second to the mix is a great next step. It gives you the ability to weave more complex patterns and take your loom further. It also might sound a bit confusing. How do you juggle 2 pick-up sticks without mixing them up or having one interefere with another? Won’t it be a bother to have 2 in such a small area? Well fortunately for us all, Sara Goldenberg White once again shares her tips, tricks, and best practices on using 2 pick-up sticks.
Sara’s calm demeanor is instantly soothing. As she walks the viewer step-by-step through reading and weaving a 2 pick-up stick pattern, it suddenly doesn’t seem as convoluted. In fact, it all makes perfect sense as to how you can balance 2 pick-up sticks in 1 warp once you’ve watched Sara do it. Even the task of removing and reinserting the second pick-up stick multiple times doesn’t seem so daunting once Sara demonstrates how quick and easy it is. Phew!
