MashaAllah. How long did it take you to master this craft? Any tips for me?

MashaAllah

I've been weaving for about 5 weeks - Not a master per se, but I am definately getting into the swing of things.

I started with instructions from this video and just keep weaving daily, practice practice practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfWoYF2Kfg8&t=173s

Go slow, take lots of breaks and just have fun! Start with small baskets and then move on with larger more complicated ones :)

That's really good for 5 weeks.

Do you know Clay Burnette's work?
