Week #4 - Hobbies and Crafts

I decided to start my search by looking for some Swedish afghan or huck weaving patterns. I was introduced to this weaving last year and was immediately hooked. I first looked up Swedish afghan and realized my search term wasn't specific enough. The articles I located were about afghan dogs! I then entered Swedish weaving patterns and again didn't have much luck. I decided to search using another term, monk's cloth weaving, and was thrilled at what I found. I have had to buy entire books for just one pattern and never thought about using this database. What a find!!! Unfortunately our libraries don't subscribe to any of the magazines listed so I will have to check the local public libraries at some point.

On the results page under projects I was again pleased with the patterns available. I am not sure what project I will start next but I am sure that it will come from this search.

At the "Help" link on the right of the page I decided to learn how to save my searches for a later date. I quickly learned that I needed to create an account on the Hobbies and Crafts Reference Center before I could save any patterns. I did find a pattern that caught my eye and was able to save it to my folder. When I have some extra time my plan is to return to my folder and get ready to weave another project!

So much to explore, so little time!!
