Handwoven Baby Blankets

Tom Knisely is the manager of The Mannings Handweaving School and Supply Center in East Berlin, PA. He has taught weaving there for more than 30 years--everything from rag rug weaving to complex multi-harness weaving--and was named Teacher of the Year by Handwoven magazine. His work appears regularly in Handwoven and Rug Hooking magazines, and he has design collections and instructional DVDs on looms, weaving rugs, and other weaving matters published by Interweave Press.

Handweaving a gift is a labor of love. But, as Tom Knisely points out in his new book, Handwoven Baby Blankets, along with love there's pressure to make the perfect gift, especially when the gift is for a new baby. In addition to thirty-four charming baby blanket patterns for both 4-shaft and 8-shaft looms, this book is packed with Tom's expert, practical advice for creating a baby blanket that will be treasured as the perfect expression of your love for that new little person. -- Anita Osterhaug, Handwoven Magazine, Editor Handwoven Magazine, September/October 2016
