A.B. Gardner describes adapting the Scandinavian Dukagang technique, as presented by Elmer Wallace Hickman in an earlier issue of The Weaver, to make a white wool work bag with an octagonal green medallion and initials. She explains her departures from Hickman's method: weaving right side up with a bobbin bin clamped to the cloth beam, weaving in pattern ends instead of knotting them, and carrying the pattern to the selvedges. She also covers warp and yarn choices, a twill threading, overcast and woven-back finishing of the ends, and plastic handles. A photograph shows the finished handles and belt buckles.

A short 1939 article in which A. B. Gardner describes using modified fish hooks to simplify the treadle tie-up on a hand loom. He explains how to grind off the barbs, bend the hooks, and attach them between lamms and treadles with cords and snitch knots so tie-ups can be changed without lying under the loom. He reports using the method on an eight-harness, ten-treadle loom and lists two precautions. A photograph shows the under-side of a loom fitted with the hooks.
