Love the swedish weaving as a hand project. I'm using working on one while traveling in the motorhome. I've done all different sizes and patterns. It's very easy just weaving yarn in and out, up and down. I love using varigated yarn for these. You can do patterns on either end of the through or through the whole throw. You work from the middle of your fabric to each side. A lot of people use a large needle to weave, but I found a large flat needle that is perfect for doing this.
