Penelope told the suitors that she would weave a tapestry, and once she was finished, she would marry one of the suitors. Penelope weaved during the day, but secretly undid her work at night.
1. (XXI.85-) When Penelope sets out the axes and challenges the suitors to archery, knowing only Odysseus will be able to shoot it. 2. (XXIII.197-202) Penelope commands Eurycleia to move the unmovable bed (that Odysseus himself built) so that Odysseus (before Penelope believes it to be him) will have sleeping accomodations. Odysseus then opposes that idea, claiming that the bed cannot be moved, convincing Penelope that it truly is Odysseus. Only Odysseus, Penelope, and Eurycleia know about the bed being unmovable.
Odysseus is able to string his bow, after all the suitors have tried and failed. Odysseus is also able to win Penelope's heart, kill all the suitors, and have the love and respect of the gods, in particular Athena.
Penelope, Odysseus's' wife, tell the suitors that are courting her that whoever is able to string Odysseus's' bow and arrow and makes the arrow through all twelve axe tops may marry her

In Book 22 of "The Odyssey," Penelope and Odysseus are finally reunited after he reveals his true identity to her by proving his knowledge of their bed. Penelope tests him by asking for the bed to be moved, but Odysseus explains that it is impossible as it is built from part of an olive tree that serves as a foundation for their home. Penelope recognizes him from the scar on his leg and they are joyfully reunited after being separated for twenty years.
The suitors were challenged to string Odysseus' bow and then shoot an arrow through 12 axes. None of the suitors are able to accomplish this; the bow of Odysseus had never been strung by anyone besides him. An old man was able to accomplish it; however it was later revealed that the old man was Odysseus in disguise.
You need some thread, a needle and the materials required to make the desired item.
