“It was quiet in the weaving center, save for the whispers that came from the smiling women, and the hammering sound of a metal comb used to push down and secure each row of knots tied on the loom. A curious little boy and a smiling baby were there too. I sat down on one of the low wooden benches next to a woman wearing a pink tunic, a matching pink and purple jacket and a bright blue hijab. She took my hand and patiently showed me how to loop and tie a knot. She spoke in Arabic and, though I couldn’t understand her, I knew what she was instructing me to do. Once your fingers start working, a certain flow begins.”
