,cottons or ,lily ,handweaving ,yarns ,this luncheon set1 illustrated on back page1 is made of one color which is the simplest type of work that can be done on the frame1 yet the results are most pleasing4 ,the set consists of a center piece1 and four or six smaller pieces4 ,the center piece is made with the frame adjusted to the shape shown in ,fig4 #b4 ,the smaller pieces are made with the frame in the form shown in ,figures #a and #c4 ,figure #a shows a frame partially wound with the thread lying in one direction4 ,figure #b shows a frame partially wound with the threads extending in two directions4 ,figure #c shows a frame completely wound with the threads extending in three different directions1 and ready to be tied4 ,figure #d shows complete piece4 ,throughout these instructions1 the corner prongs are always designated as ,no4 #a prongs4 ,to commence the winding1 the thread is first tied to ,no4 #c prong on side ,c1 ,figure #a4 ,it is then extended to prong #c on side ,a1 ,figure #a4 ,the thread is wound back and forth on these prongs until there are twelve threads between the prongs4 ,the thread is then wound in a similar manner around the next pair of prongs immediately above1 and so on1 until the third last set of prongs is reached4 ,these threads will all lie parallel to each other1 and to two sides of the frame4 ,the thread is then carried around the outside of the adjacent corner to the third prong from the corner4 ,the thread is then wound around that prong to the corresponding prong on the opposite side4 ,a similar number of threads are extended between each pair of prongs1 so that the threads lie parallel to the second pair of sides of the frame4 ,the winding of the thread in the third position is similar1 except that it is wound parallel with the third pair of sides of the frame4 ,this results in the frame being wound in three directions with twelve threads extending between each pair of prongs in each direction4 #ab ,petal ,daisy ,design ,illustration3 ,,step ,,one--in winding frame for twelve-petal daisy design4 ,illustration3 ,,second ,,step--in winding frame for twelve-petal daisy design4 ,illustration3 ,,third ,,step--in winding frame for twelve-petal daisy design4 ,the whole process is then repeated3 that is1 twelve more threads are wound between each pair of prongs in each of three directions1 as aforesaid1 making a total of #bd threads extending between each pair of prongs4 ,if a heavier mat is desired1 another layer of twelve threads may be added4 ,when all this has been done1 the thread may be tied to the final prong and then cut off4 ,the frame is now ready to be sewed4 ,this is where the shuttle is put into use4 ,as much thread as can be conveniently held by the shuttle is wound upon it1 and a foot or so allowed to hang from it4 ,this loose end of the thread is then tied around a corner intersection of three groups of threads on the frame1 from the back1 and fastened securely4 ,if you will now study ,figure #c1 you will find that it is possible to make three distinct loops around these intersections and to tie them from the back of the frame by means of half-hitches4 ,as each one of these intersections is sewed or tied1 the craftsman should move clockwise to the next intersection of three groups of threads and repeat the operation around the frame4 ,when the first round has been completed1 skip over to the second round and repeat at the end of each round3 in this way it will be found unnecessary to break the thread at any time4 ,in fact1 the only time that it should be necessary to tie a knot in the thread is when the shuttle is empty4 ,the proper procedure then1 is to refill the shuttle and tie the new end to the end of the thread finished and continue sewing4 ,when the entire frame has been tied1 the finished article is removed by simply cutting through the thread as near to the prongs as is possible1 with a pair of sharp scissors4 ,comb out the fringe thus formed and trim evenly4 ,illustration3 ,frame wound to illustrate one step in winding frame for design suitable for pillow case or vanity set4 ,illustration3 ,frame wound to illustrate another

box--complete with adjusting bolts and shuttle4 7,shuttle is pictured at right74 ,frame consists of six angular sections1 each section being provided with a plurality of prongs or fingers adapted to hold the threads4 ,the sections are provided with holes through which bolts1 secured by wing nuts1 are extended to hold the several sections together4 ,illustration3 ,the frame is assembled from six pieces of angle steel1 light1 sturdy1 easily adjusted to various sizes 444 green lacquer finish4 ,complete with adjusting bolts and shuttle4 ,adjustable ,to #bj ,shapes ,many ,variations ,are ,possible ,the ,,speed-,o-,,weave frame is adjustable to over twenty different sizes and shapes1 and the number and variety of pieces it is possible to make by this method is almost unlimited4 ,a few are3 luncheon sets1 chair sets1 doilies1 bedspreads1 dresser scarfs1 pillow tops1 handbags1 pot holders and dish cloths4 ,it is also possible to do several different types of weaving on the one frame4 ,endless variations of each type can be achieved by interweaving colored threads to produce colored patterns4 ,the simplest form of work possible on the frame consists of single piece sets with a fringe4 ,in making blocks for joining1 as in a bedspread or any large article1 the blocks are made without a fringe in order to facilitate sewing them together4 ,no ,skill ,required6 ,,speed-,o-,,weave--or ,hexagonal ,weaving--is fast becoming one of the most popular of hand-crafts4 ,this is due1 no doubt1 to its extreme simplicity and to the fact that it is both inexpensive and very quickly learned4 ,for making ,,speed-,o-,,weave designs many yarns or crochet threads can be used4 ,for luncheon cloths1 doilies1 pillow tops1 etc41 the finer threads may be used4 ,for rugs1 bedspreads1 hot dish mats1 etc41 the heavier yarns would be more appropriate4 ,reduced to its simplest formula1 ,hexagonal ,weaving1 as done on ,lily's ,,speed-,o-,,weave frame1 is simply the winding of threads back and forth on the prongs or fingers of the frame in such a manner1 that the threads lie parallel to three sides of the frame4 ,if the threads are wound parallel to three sides of the frame1 they will automatically be parallel with the remaining three sides of the frame1 because of the manner in which the frame is constructed4 ,after the threads have been wound in three directions on the frame1 they are tied together at their intersections1 to effect a complete article4 ,illustration3 ,multiple-color designs ,illustration3 ,,luncheon ,,set ,no4 #hf ,an attractive ,luncheon ,set
