Here are some electronic and handi-book options for textile
information. I think these work better than paper copies
(which really don’t exist) and in the long run, you learn more and
other people can use them. They are cheap compared to books.

You will not find websites that give the detail you probably need, but the ones given will get you started.

I’m looking for different ways to finish off a yarn project. Usually I just cut the yarn, knot it one more time, then weave it through. There has to be other ways out there. Last year I discovered the "russian join" for changing colors in between projects without having to knot the yarns – and it changed my life also made my projects look 1000 times better http://www.knittinganyway.com/freethings/russianjoin.htm Looking for some other magic technique for finishing off a yarn project of knitting/crocheting?

I guess you are talking about yarn and not thread. Here is a site for you to look at and use it to put edgings around the article you have finished. What you should do when you have finished the article is to cit the thread and use your hook or needle and pull the thread through the last stitch on your nedle. then use your crochet needle to weave it through several stitches in one directiona dn then reverse the weaving. However if you are going to make an edging don’t do that unless you are going to use a different color of yarn. As far as the site is concerned just click on the differnt names of the edgings to see what you may like.

I was driving home from work one day, and I decided to pass this little car that was weaving back and forth in the lane. As I passed I glanced over, and there was a lady steering the car with her knee, while using both hands to knit something. The basket and skane of yarn were in the passenger seat. Talk about multi-tasking.

I watched a woman put on her makeup in rush hour traffic, using the REARVIEW mirror to see in. When she started wielding the mascara wand I was absolutely horrified, and made sure to get away from her as quickly as possible, because she was hunching over the steering wheel trying to get closer to the mirror to do it.

This is how cotton yarn is traditionally spun for Dhaka weaving.

An introduction to setting up the Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom for tablet weaving. Using the direct warping/continuous warp method and an unbroken length of yarn, the Flip can be easily warped and used to maintain tension on the warp strands for weaving long, dense bands of fabric without the use of C-clamps or an inkle loom. Using handpainted yarn allows for an unexpected but beautiful result when card weaving.

Macramé is a form of textile-making using knotting rather than weaving or knitting. Its primary knots are the square knot and forms of hitching (full hitch and double half hitches). It has been used by sailors, especially in elaborate or ornamental knotting forms to decorate anything from knife handles to bottles to parts of ships.

Here are further details for Matthew on weaving the coverlet – this video is not done with a stationary camera so you can see the cloth growing on the loom as I throw the shuttle each time. It also shows me advancing the warp and changing yarn on the shuttle when I run out of pattern yarn.
