Or we may want a pencil basket. Here again, the use will suggest the shape.

Have no work done that will not serve a good purpose.

WEAVING ON LOOMS

The loom for this work may be purchased from the publishers of this book. A simple loom may be constructed of four small strips of wood, fastened at the corners. Place small-headed nails, one-fourth of an inch apart, on each of the ends, around which the warp is placed. A very simple loom may also be made from a square or oblong of cardboard, by making slits in each end through which the warp is placed.

A kindergarten needle for paper weaving may be used to draw the material through, over and under the warp, always leaving the end in the weaving, instead of out on the edge.

WASH-CLOTH

Take strips of cheesecloth or candle wicking,and after stringing the loom with white carpet warp, weave over and under till the cloth is completed, making it square. Cut out from the frame and tie the warp ends securely.

For this use any kind of yarn. The warp may be of cotton. Make it the full size of the loom, which is about ten by twelve inches. A very pretty border may be made by alternating threads of different color and weaving over and under two threads.
