The January/February 2011 issue of Handwoven magazine is full of ideas to help you celebrate, communicate, and commemorate your life’s special memories and events. You will find cultural inspiration for your contemporary weaving; our cover features a striking warp-rep table runner by Tom Knisely based on kente cloth. Inside, you will find a stylish jacket woven from a tartan, a vest reminiscent of a Hindu Toran, contemporary chenille scarves with a message, and more.

I also included a bonus Loom Buyers Guide chocked full of info to help you decide on a future loom purchase.
