Thanks, Guys. Lorenzo, i learnt how to do the colour change weaves from Doc Ski's video - "Advanced Weaving Techniques" but it also covers single layer weaving too, doc shows you how to make your own patterns, and all the tricks and tips, i can't reccommend it enough for the beginner or for those who want to improve their weaving. Also, there's Jim Uptons excellent book - "A guide to thread weaving for the custom rod builder" for those who don't know - jim is the inventor of the wonder weaver loom, he covers information on the loom, and lots of great tips and tricks on setting up a weave and a lot more.

Hey Steve, great looking work. Please tell me you have done a weave of that picture of Jack hanging on your shop wall, that would be sweet.

Thanks Jay. No, 'fraid not, but yes that would be a great weave. Would be a hard one to do though - at least for me, hate to think if it could be done how many hours it would take to complete. Think i'll leave those ones for Doc Ski and Jim Upton.
