[Loch-Ruadh] Card Weaving???

[PBW]

If Mistress Stella doesn't have any cards for sale you can make some very 
usable card weaving cards using the heavy stock square cardboard coasters, 
just use a hole punch to make the holes for the thread. I have used "coaster 
cards" on a couple weaving items I did and they turned out great. In fact I 
found I preferred the coaster stock to the cards that came with a book I 
bought that had cards in it as those were light weight and tended to bend 
with heavier weight cotton threads.

That's my 2 cents worth. Wish I could be there, I haven't done any card 
weaving in several years.
