I've been making some coasters for my new table over the last week.

I decided to weave them, and then I quite spontaneously finished the first one off with a crocheted edge and was quite pleased with the result (I only learnt some basic crochet stitches from a book at Christmas and I'm not completely sure I'm doing them right!). I like that, with the rainbow wool, they're all unique.
I used this simple weaving frame that I've mentioned here before. It was pretty cheap and it's had so much use - you can string it to weave squares and other shapes as well as circles. I find the repetitive nature of weaving very calming and the frame is quite portable so I've managed to get bits done here and there at meetings and things. The coasters are washable which is very useful.
It's a shame I didn't have foresight to weave a table mat first, Cameron's rock collection has not been kind to my lovely table this week...
