Done! And with five days to spare even. My goal was to have this weaving ready to hang on our front door by December 1st.
The plan was to hang it between our front door and the storm door in lue of a traditional wreath since the space doesn't have a lot of depth. My husband and son think I should hang it inside. That way it won't be temptation to a thief and we can also enjoy it more indoors than something that hangs outside where we ourselves would only see it occasionally.
The Saori style weaving is lit with a string of 50 very tiny battery operated lights. I poked them through the weaving from the back and then secured each and every one with a discrete yarn tie.
The battery pack that powers the light string hangs hidden behind and is supported by the large candy cane. The lights can be turned on once and will cycle through a 6 hours on, 18 hours off, repeating pattern, or they can be turned on and off at will with the push of a button.

Love it! What a fun and cheerful project.
You always find a way to add a new twist to the craft- wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks drygardening. It was fun and quick to weave too.
Thanks, Leslie. Have you had much time to weave since you moved? Have you joined any local guilds or clubs? I think of you and Hannelore often and wonder how you are doing.
