You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks​

I spent six unbelievably pleasurable hours by a very patient woman who is going to attempt to teach me traditional Māori weaving. The picture shows what I achieved, including lots of laughter, in 6 hours. I possibly should have posted this in Jokes & Fun, but it’s no joke

I admire anyone who does beautiful crafty work like so many indigenous people of countries do but I also admire anyone who wants to learn as well so more power to you!
I’d love to finished product when you have it!?

Thank you Royal Watcher. It might take a while as what you saw was several hours work, but I do have a level of determination

One of my daughters is married to a Maori and was taught this years ago. She said it was very relaxing to do.

We would love to see a picture when you are finished

You will be surprised how quick you will actually get

ATM I am very slow and I seem to be undoing more that I’m doing. But at least I can see my mistakes. I’m being taught by a Māori woman and she is using the Māori words for stitches etc so I might just have the smatterings of another language by the time I’ve got my first piece complete!
