I saw Woolsley do this in a video once, but the camera was too far to see the hand motions and i have been trying to figure it out like mad, with no luck. Anyone know how its done?

You just let your poi tethers spiral wrap around each other right where they leave your hands, then cross over to the other side, unwind it all with a little circular gyration of the hands, then wind-em up on that side and repeat. I say "just" but it isn't totally easy... takes some work on controlling the tangle and crossing it over... These are therefor not infinite, just "really a lot".
If you get good at hand switching your handles in split-time chase, then you can do that for an arbitrary amount of time on either side of a crossover... but this doesn't seem like you are weaving really, since you are constantly resetting any twisting.
To me a weave is twist -> crossover -> untwist -> twist -> crossover etc.
