  1. Hi! I'm not finished listening to this episode yet, but you mentioned that you just started saving your selvedges. Me too! You have to check out Karen Griska's Selvage Blog - http://selvageblog.blogspot.com/ (Apparenlty, you can spell it either way!) She wrote a book on the subject and her blog has lots of great patterns and ideas! I can't wait to save enough to make something. Good luck!
