PROJECT REPORT 2 - Circular Weaving
A L I S A My mom had all these antique embroidery hoops, so I decided to use them because they make such a nice little frame. The only problem is that they are very small. That's ok for my first one, but I may want to find some bigger ones as this project goes on. I wanted the centre of my warp to be off set, which was way easier to do on the hoop than with a cardboard circle. I tried with the cardboard first and just couldn't get it right. With the hoop it made more sense to me, except…
