Sweedish Weaving
#21
I did a table runner as a school project when I was 13. It is easy to do and very effective when on the table. I still have it and I'm thinking of putting it under the glass lid of my embroidery floss box. I am sure you will enjoy doing it.

When I worked at Walmart, way back when, we had a lady from Arizona,that would come to visit her daughter here in Oklahoma. Before the lady would head for home, she would almost buy us out of Monk's cloth. We carried a lot and in different colors. She said she couldn't find what she wanted in Arizona. Boy, was that a day or two ago. LOL

When I first learned how to do this it was indeed called "Huck weaving." Recently I found some towel that I had done so many years ago. I was curious and did a couple of google searches. Still found lots of patterns and supplies available on line.

I used to have a couple towels that had them on the edges of them. I repurposed them as baby wash up towels. I have heard it also called chicken scratch or hardranger (sp?). Funny you should mention this. I found a large piece a couple weeks ago thrifting and I think I will make a pin cushion or pillow from it.
Swedish weave & Chicken Scratch are totally different. Swedish weave is done on Monk's cloth while Chicken scratch is done on 1/4" check gingham. I love both but am now obsessed with quilting. So many projects---so little life!!!
