First-person account by Roma Crow Walters of weaving small handbags and purses in the Rosengang (Rose Path) threading using wool yarns on a cotton warp. She gives the warp setup (cotton similar to Egypt 16-3, 10 ends per inch, 22 inches wide), the yarns used (Bernat Spanish Stocking, Shetland, Glow Crinkle), and a complete color sequence in throws for the pictured bag, woven on opposites. A short note describes a zippered purse woven on the same threading. The scan also includes a book review of The Game of Weaving, a children's weaving instruction book.
