Episode 0029 [1968]

Original Air Date: March 28, 1968

  

Mister Rogers arrives with a small loom which he has borrowed to demonstrate for viewers. He talks about weaving and further demonstrates the practice by weaving his fingers together and then weaving together strips of paper. As he does so, he sings I Like You As You Are.

Walking to a nearby shop, Mister Rogers visits with Jack -- a young man who is learning to operate larger looms. Mrs. Mauldin shares some of her recent work on a loom including a "dog track" pattern. She describes the various parts of the loom and explains how it works. Having just finished his first scarf, Jack gives the finished product to Mister Rogers.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, a string quartet is at the castle performing for King Friday. At the request of the King, they play a piece by Haydn. The quartet is invited to the T Room for tea.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about the importance of practicing in order to improve a particular skill. He talks about learning to play the piano and sings Goodnight God as he concludes for the day.
