www.mainevillageweaver.Etsy.com Keeping yourself busy or children busy can be a new challenge for some folks  Being a Weaver I found this type of activity engaging and fun  While being productive  Children love new things and we have come very far from our ancestral roots where this was an everyday activity  If you wanted socks you knitted socks  Potholders were always woven at home by young folks to be given as gifts  I can remember this as a summer activity  The neighborhood girls of all ages would sit and weave potholders  I always envied the older girls cause they knew how to make checks and plaids with the loops  I could only make multi colored potholders  Still that was how we all kept busy during those hot summer days  You can only put together so many puzzles during this time at home  Try making a potholder   You’ll get hooked
