...and once in a while...

... I get to try something new. Thanks to an online workshop about traditional Turkish carpet weaving, I now know a lot more than before (though of course it was only covering the basics), and I managed to do a few rows of knots on my tiny practice piece:

It's definitely a fascinating technique, and as with so many textile techniques, the single steps and moves are simple and may look easy, but getting it all just so, and having a good, consistent result will take a lot of experience and practice. I hope I will be able to find some time to weave at least a little bit more, so I can take it off at some time and have a mini-carpet. Probably just large enough for the cat to sit on (though by far not large enough for her to curl up on...)
