well there is some sort of a pattern, after a fashion, but it's pret a portent to follow the haute trends, or you'll be passe.
it helps to know the relivant terms, if you want to go with grain, so don't be caught napping. Fiberbabe, i fully expect to see you interfacing in this thread, since you have a good grasp of the underlining vocabulary, and should be able to pad out this thread, so consider yourself buttonholed for the task!
i am gussetted with excitment over the turn this thread has taken!

unravelled... or ravelled; that is the question.
(or, secondarily, unravelled... or unraveled?!)

I was a frayed that this was knot going to stop. So I decided to dart in with some crewel puns of my own. Zome of 'em will be zippers, and I'll probably quilt after an applique-tion of a dozen or so.
Whether I'm a crochety old guy is a fell question, so just to put a gros point on it I'm gonna canvas the readers, thought it might put you in a bind.
The main question is whether I should run with this or bargello from my diet. The French knotwithstanding I'm looking for a darned good answer. You can suture self on whether you answer, and I'm not going to argue over a petit point. While I'm not netting any answers, it could be due to the overcast weather, or so I gather.
Honestly, I'm twine to stop! I shuttle to think what will happen if I don't. 'Twill come back to haunt me or I'll be weft holding the bag. Argh. I'm getting raddled!

well, not faggotting about the original topic, straw bowls could be woven baskets, and a little embroidering here or there, is no harm...

I have seen what Might be described as a "straw bowl", Jackie, made out of strips of plaited straw, would round and round and sewn together
Thank you, my Dear. That sounds like nearly the same technique for making old-timey rag rugs.
Gee, I love this place...once again, an off-the-cuff comment angled off 90 degrees and then some, into quite a patchwork thread.

If you are ever in Charleston SC, go to the city market downtown; you can see straw bowls and baskets being made on the spot by Gullahs. A handiwork unchanged since god knows when.
