Every time we take Pawn to either her own village or her grandmother's village, she has been bringing back more parts to set up her own cloth weaving station at her house. She's been working hard to get all of the thread and parts set up, and now she is finally weaving the cloth.

We went to the big market to get her some thread. It doesn't come on traditional spools like we have. She often sits while we're watching a movie taking the long, long strands and forming a ball of thread. After picking up one more piece from her mom, she was ready to set up her station on the front porch.
After watching them weave cloth--both Pawn at our house and people in her village--I can't believe how creative they can be with the patterns they can create. She's working on making Rusty a shirt right now. I'll have to post pictures when she gets it finished.
