I was impressed by the breadth of weaving related content covered but disappointed that any time was devoted to work on looms not used in this course. Also, for a beginner's course I was happy to see the incorporation of a design component (grid work) I only wish the ultimate design demonstrated was a bit simpler considering the various ways both the shed stick and shuttle had to work in concert. I'm glad I have the video available to revisit. I plan to craft my own simple design to practice.
