Two pages from the first issue of Master Weaver (December 1951). The main piece, "Why Do We Weave?", considers why people take up handweaving as a hobby in a mechanised age, citing emotional attachment to the past and the satisfaction of making a whole product oneself, and invites readers to write in with their views. The pages also include the end of a note on swivel weave technique (warp and weft setting, cutting floats, uses) and a short piece on variations of four-block patterns, showing how block combinations yield 64 symmetrical patterns on 5 frames in swivel or lace.
