Fixing an Umbrella Swift

My sweet husband allowed me to purchase a fantastic Gilmore loom.  Along with the loom came several accessories, one of which is an umbrella swift . . . in pieces.

The broken swift.

 Once I made sure the pieces were all there, I gave them a cleaning and waxing.  Then began tying them back together.

And one tie at the cross.

Jesus, I'm thinking of You on the cross as I tie these crosses!
