Book Review: Weaving Step-by-Step (hearts, baskets, chairs, etc.)(OT)

Weaving Step-by-Step by Sue Muldoon (Sue Muldoon, 2024, $34.99, 59 pp spiral bound)

Whether you are a total beginner like me, an intermediate or an advanced weaver, Weaving Step-by-Step will teach you more than you could ever have imagined! 

Ideas Galore! With Variations!

From easy-peasy hearts and paper or reed snowflakes to more intricate baskets (see my favorite below)


and backpacks, author Sue Muldoon's knack for teaching will make it not only easy for you but challenging at the same time with information about dyeing reeds, drying and sealing reeds, and lists of sources, guilds, suppliers and websites (with QRCs).

The author's excellent photography and just-the-right-size diagrams that are highly labelled make for early success.


You can tell she is a teacher! Most of the 20 projects are for beginners, even children, yet look so complicated that pretty soon you will even talk like a professional weaver, thanks to the basketry definitions on page 25. 

You can find Sue and her books at the 2024 Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival the first weekend in May. Hopefully she will return next year and teach some classes. Stay tuned!
