The variety of possible patterns in knit and crochet is almost infinite, goes way beyond that first dishrag you made.

The same is true with finger weaving. A number of motifs exist as traditional patterns. These traditional motifs are but the beginning. It is recommended that you begin by working your way through these traditional patterns, and then see where the technique takes you. Possibilities abound. Carol occasionally explores the art form, creating different shapes and styles.

I was the Artist in Residence in Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, the Summer of 2009, and explored finger woven variations of their logo, as they celebrated their centennial.
A St Boniface businessman challenged me to make a ‘ceinture fléchée necktie’. Never one to shrink in the face of a challenge, I had to try.
In 2009 I spent 3 days at the Knot Museum in Seoul, Korea. The decorative knots proved to be the perfect thing for a piece that had been rattling around in my head. I call this piece 'Blooming Prairie'. It traces the history of Manitoba.
Someone challenged me to create a piece based on the colors outside on a Winter's day.
A Métis man asked for a sash in the Manitoba Métis colors. I tried out three variations.
The process of fingerweaving causes a tangle of threads, called the false weave. The weaver occasionally pauses work weaving, and untangles this mass. I found the tangle to be interesting in itself, and created this piece that celebrates the tangle.
