October 1958 Portfolio Edition of Shuttle Craft, the monthly bulletin of the Shuttle Craft Guild (Bedford, Nova Scotia), devoted largely to Christmas weaving. Harriet Tidball presents Dr. William G. Bateman's eight-harness sample designs, related to three- and four-tie Summer and Winter, with profile drafts, tie-ups, treadlings and yarn details. The "What Can I Weave for Christmas" section covers Christmas aprons with flossa or dukagang tree borders, projects for young weavers (bean bag, catnip ball, sachets, scarf), striped skirt fabric with Lily yarns, bookmarks, tree ornaments, and three knee rugs in Tranquillity Studio homespun wool, including a 6-harness draft. The issue also has Boris Veren's book reviews, including the Swedish Monsterblad portfolios and a book of contemporary Swedish design, and advertisements.
