The Power of Pick-up Sticks

Namesake Runner

Christine picked colors for this runner based on the film adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake, which features Ashima in India as a young girl in a beautiful pink sari and her later in life in the United States wearing a toned-down beige cardigan. Use your rigid-heddle loom and pick-up-stick patterns to weave this textured cotton runner.

Soft and Snuggly Blanket

The whole is more than the sum of the parts in this cozy, squishy blanket woven in five panels on a rigid- heddle loom. Warp and weft floats, created by a simple pick-up pattern, add just the right amount of texture, and the palette evokes a feeling of calm.

Little Prince Scarf

Pick-up patterning on the ends and fringe cut on the diagonal add to the playfulness of this rigidheddle- woven scarf. Angela found her inspiration in the yellow scarf worn by the Little Prince in Saint- Exupéry’s popular children’s book—a book that adults love even more for its heartfelt message.

Ma’s Towels

When Ma Ingalls placed the red-checked tablecloth on the table in the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, the family members knew their latest move was done and they were home. Weave these cotton and linen towels designed to coordinate with that tablecloth using your rigid-heddle loom and add texture and lace patterning with a pick-up stick.
