You might find that it is easier to create your own design than to sift through a stack of magazines looking for something to weave. Once you leave the graph paper and pencils behind, you might find that you actually ENJOY creating your own weaving drafts. There is a better way! The incredible software programs available today can make designing a fabric that is uniquely yours astonishingly fast and easy. Faced with a large blank sheet of graph paper, most weavers run for the nearest issue of Handwoven and settle for weaving someone else’s design. Many weavers would like to take their weaving to the next level by designing their own textiles but have been discouraged by the tedium of filling in hundreds of little squares before being able to determining if a design is going to work as intended.
