weaving

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'craft' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'wife given a strange' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w'.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'given'+'a'='givena'
'givena' anagrammed gives 'eaving'.
'w'+'eaving'='WEAVING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weaving that I've seen before include "Making fabric by interlacing threads" , "Making fabric or basketry" , "Using a loom" , "Making textiles" , "Making tapestry, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
