My grandmother’s teachings and values in weaving were rooted in patience, precision, and a deep respect for tradition. She believed that weaving was more than just a craft; it was a way to connect with the past, and express creativity. Every piece she created told a story, woven with care and skill passed down through generations. She emphasized the importance of mindfulness and attention to detail, teaching me that every knot, every thread mattered. To her, weaving was not only about the final product but the process itself—the rhythm of the loom, the meditative repetition, and the joy found in the act of creating something by hand.
