Double Woven Edges

Brilliant!  Check out Alice Schlein's Weaverly blog post featuring double woven edges:

I detest weaving edges, whether on a shawl or a towel, what-have-you.  Fringe takes forever to twine, and I don't like leaving it loose.  I've never cared for folding over and sewing either.  But this technique shows promise.

Start and end with double weave (and on a later post she shows you how to do that even on 4 harnesses:
