Gone Fishing

It's good to have friends with skills! I've had an idea swimming around my brain since I started weaving on Grandpa's loom. Fish shaped rag shuttles. I looked high and low on the interwebs and the closest thing I could find was a netting shuttle. They are the right shape, but much too small.

Luckily one of my knitting friends has a woodworking husband who was up for a crazy project. I told him my vision, gave him a rough sketch and he made me two perfect, trout-inspired shuttles. Now, whenever I'm rug weaving you can be sure I've also gone fishing.
