Weaving, part 2 of many

Due to the exam schedule that the students have this week (unbeknownst to me), I was able to go weave this afternoon for 3 hours. After a few rough-looking rows, I got the hang of it and it doesn't look too bad, if I do say so myself! I made plenty of progress, but it pales in comparison to how much I have left!

As you can see, it is a back-strap loom where you sit on the strap that connects to the poles of the loom. The monotony was broken up by eating birthday cake for my teacher's son and by watching Karlita run around and wreak havoc on all the yarn and poles laying about! I can't wait to go back tomorrow!
