Mom and son weavers push the pedal to the wood in St. Elmo

But Beverly Crawford and her son Zach Crawford, 25, still are boldly going where few people bother to go these days by having two working looms parked in their St. Elmo living room.The warp turns out to be the name given to the rack of 336 parallel loom threads through which the Crawfords' nimble fingers shoot a 6-inch-long wooden boatlike object called a shuttle, which in turn trails material of many colors. Alternately throwing the shuttle from side to side while manipulating the threads by pushing on wooden pedals and then compressing the woven rows with something called a "beater bar," the loom devotees inch-out their intricately patterned material magic."It's just very relaxing," says Beverly Crawford, 51. "I really enjoy it." Her son nods in agreement. "And you can take out your frustrations on it," adds Zach Crawford, slamming the beater bar down with coupe de grace finality.
