My New Category - Interwork

 

After researching some words and their meanings,  I came up with several options to name that elusive concept of the interconnectedness between basket weaving, weaving, crocheting, knitting, braiding, knotting, beading and other types of work.  Interweave, interlace, intertwine all came close.  But for me, I think the best overall caption might be Interwork.
