A two-page issue of Handweaving News (March 1944) by Nellie Sargent Johnson on the Greek soumak knot worked on a simple frame. It explains how to join wefts of different colors so that the interlocking does not leave a serrated edge or slit in vertical color boundaries, with directions for three knots per warp thread, worked right to left and left to right. Page 2 gives the chart for a student's wall hanging abstracting bare tree branches, mountains and sailboats, with color suggestions.
