A step up from my plain weaving

As a new weaver, I wanted something a bit more complex than plain weaving and this fit the bill. Good instructions and the kit has interesting yarn to work with. I'm still in the middle of the project and enjoying it very much.

Rigid heddle pattern

I was so excited to get this pattern for free and I couldn't wait to try it! It was easy to download and easy to follow. Now I can't wait for a special occasion to give the towels as gifts. Thank you Gist Yarn!
