Issue of The Handicrafter (Nov.-Dec. 1931), a handcraft magazine published by Emile Bernat & Sons with a strong handweaving emphasis. Weaving content includes Virginia Doan's handwoven curtains and coverlet using a Whig Rose and Chariot Wheel overshot pattern with full threading and treadling directions, R. F. Heartz's notes on Speck drafts (overshot and double-face four- and eight-harness drafts), a profile of the Shuttle-Craft Guild of Hand-Weavers, and part II of Cecelia Cleveland Willard's article on weaving on the Kircher frame loom. Other items cover a traveling hand weaving exhibit, fly-shuttle weaving, the 1931 Weaving Institute at Penland led by Edward Worst, and non-weaving crafts such as Christmas gifts for children, block-printed cards, etched silver bookends and bracelet, and felt utility bags. Advertisements for looms, yarns and craft shops are included.
