Everything in here is so modern and fresh--a great introduction to multiple types of peg loom weaving with gorgeous photography. I also appreciate that the book is broken down by time/difficulty so that you can choose an easy one-night project or start something big. Can't wait to make something from this!

I was excited to get this because I am a weaver and have a peg loom. There just aren’t too many books or patterns out there!

I really appreciated the very clear photographs of the different stitches. So many books are vague and only have drawings which can be difficult to follow. I’ve actually never even encountered a book or pattern for the peg loom that had you do anything but the most basic weaves. This incorporated a lot of modern tapestry techniques which I really enjoyed, can’t wait to get weaving!

Several of the projects used weaving sticks (which are basically the peg loom without the stand) to make smaller projects which I liked. I need to get some narrower sticks!

I really liked how she organized the book into how long the projects took. I really like projects I can do while watching a movie or listening to a podcast and there is a whole section on weeknight crafting.

This was an informational read on the topic of weaving. I don't have any prior skill with weaving, but I have wanted to try it for a while. This book both explains weaving with pegs, and provides sample projects to work on, including weaving round objects. It was especially helpful to have the option of creating my own loom setup in this book, as I don't own a loom from a craft store. This book gives construction ideas to make you own peg loom at home, which saves a lot of money. I may need to watch a tutorial on weaving to get the instructions in this book correct, but for people who can learn without seeing a live demonstration of techniques, this book will likely be all you need to get started. Very accessible, with interesting projects and a low bar of entry into the craft. This book is worth a look if you want to pick up a new hobby.
