Weaving is hot, hot, hot right now.  We’re not really ones to jump on every passing bandwagon, but if this is what the technique’s latest incarnation looks like, count us in!  Cintia at My Poppet wove simple patterns into these yarn-wrapped bangles, giving them a cozy character that will be great for fall!  This is a fabulous way to use up odds and ends of scrap yarn you may have laying around.  Try weaving different patterns and using different combinations of colors – you could make a bunch and stack your arm in sweater-like fashion!  [how to make woven yarn bangles]
