This book includes instructions on how to make a hand-made loom, how to use an Ashford Knitter's Loom, how to pin weave, how to use a weavette, and how to free-form weave on found objects.

What really bugged me about this book was some of the photos were really blurry - it would have been a lot better, imo, if they had all been in focus. Otherwise, it had a nice variety of projects. The last thing that bothered me about it was it seemed to be promoting a specific loom, and that kinda got on my nerves a little too.
