Volume 1 (January-December 1948) of the Kentucky Weaver, a mimeographed monthly issued by the Little Loomhouse for the Kentucky Weavers Guild, which was organized in November 1947. It combines Guild news (meeting announcements and minutes, by-laws, the Fort Knox hobby shop talk, the state fair workshop) with many weaving drafts and instruction pages. The drafts cover overshot patterns (Snowball, Maple Leaf, Whig Rose, Chariot Wheel, Honeysuckle, Eastern Wheels), crackle weave, summer and winter, rosepath and other twills, leno and other laces, oneharness tapestry, and warp-faced bags. Other items include research on early Kentucky coverlets, community and recreational weaving, weaving for schools and Bible schools, dolls, lampshades, and a shoulder bag from India.
