weaving book

Is there a book on weaving patterns that a person can buy? I enjoy weaving but lack the artistic value for making my own designs. I get some from Rodcrafters journal but I would like more selections.

Once you understand how the patterns work and are laid out, you can do your own and don't really need any artistic talent. Next time you see something you'd like to weave, just trace it onto some graph paper. If the size doesn't correlate to that which you want you can obtain something called a Pantograph which allows you to perfectly reproduce any drawing or object to any size, up or down, and in any scale. Very easy to use and pretty inexpensive. Any art supply or craft store should have one.
