Which way for weaving??

One of the ideas that I liked from Big Magic fits in here. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but I didn't want to get stuck on anything being perfect or being the best. I would make something and it would just "be" and maybe it would turn out as I expected and maybe it wouldn't or maybe it would be better than I expected. Whatever happened, the result's purpose might just be to inspire someone else to take the concept to another level or try a variation. So, I decided I would start with the braided rug idea. I would sew braided "legs" of pantyhose onto the backing, using a combination of handsewing and machine sewing. Obviously first step was a washing machine load of all my materials and some time out in the sun for them to get any mustiness out. Then I used the rotary cutter to cut the waist part off and get a variety of a shades of light beige to very dark so the braid would have different colors in it. I went back and forth from the couch to the sewing machine until I had enough to get a nice spiral on the pillow background. One pillow top done!
