The knotted pile weaving has grown to the edge of the design I initially sketched. It is time to add a new image above the central star motif. A tree? Some dogs?
Also, it strikes me that this little weaving is destined to be a carrying bag of some sort, rather than a miniature carpet. The back and the strap can be done in flat weave, which will go more quickly than one hour per row!

| Front view of knotted pile weaving -- pile is 1/2" deep. |

| Enough warp remains to make a fairly deep bag. Yellow linen loops at the top are "string heddles." |

| When the pile is 1/2" long, it is easier to see the design from the back of the weaving. |
