The guild's president's challenge for 2013 was to weave (or otherwise make) kitchen towels to be completed by the February 2014 monthly meeting. To be honest, I had no interest in this challenge when it was announced last year. I had so many other projects on my list to complete already that I initially chose not to participate.
But... with the purchase of my new-to-me 24-shaft loom, suddenly (once Christmas projects were complete, etc.) in January, kitchen towels seemed like a good exercise to become more familiar with my loom and with what 24-shafts can do in terms of structures on the same straight threading.
