Among four-shaft weavers, A Handweaver's Pattern Book is commonly referred to by just the author's name—Davison—or as “the green book,” a reference to the iconic cover of many of the book's printings. Since Marguerite Porter Davison first published it in 1944, it has been a foundational reference, the first book that many weavers buy and the one they keep close at hand. Packed with drafts and photographs for overshot, twill, crackle, and dozens of other structures, it's the weaver's answer to The Joy of Cooking: a starting point for design, a resource for understanding a structure, and a map for exploration. Although it remained in print for decades, it became unavailable in 2005, and the weaving community felt the loss. For the past several years, a group of nearly 100 weavers and other volunteers has been working to bring it back. Weavers from guilds from coast to coast have nearly finished reweaving all of the book's samples—more than 1,200 of them—in color. Technical reviewers have created contemporary drafts. The original instructions for sinking-shed looms have been adapted to the jack looms more common in most weavers' studios. Despite the updates, the project's north star has been to honor Davison's voice and intentions. The updated edition, to be published by Schiffer Craft, is expected in summer 2027. Leading the effort is Caroline Cooley Browne, who happens to be Marguerite Porter Davison's granddaughter. Davison died when Caroline was a baby, but she grew up hearing stories from her mother of warping looms in Marguerite's attic studio, of train rides to the printer, of the woman who traveled to numerous guilds because she loved being with other weavers. When the copyright to the 1951 edition eventually came to Caroline through her family, she knew what to do with it, and she enlisted a team of eager volunteers to help bring the new edition to life. In this episode, Caroline is joined by Donna Johnson of the Whidbey Weavers Guild, who coordinates volunteers for the guild's sample weaving, and Anita Osterhaug, who connected the project with the publisher and has been part of the technical steering committee. Together they talk about the logistical undertaking of standardizing hundreds of samples across dozens of weavers, the technical decisions involved in updating the book, and what it has felt like to be part of the next chapter of something this important. Listen in to hear why the green book has never gone out of fashion, what surprised the weavers as they worked through structures they'd never tried before, and what Marguerite Porter Davison's granddaughter hopes she would think of the whole endeavor.

Long before modern economics, rulers such as Hammurabi in ancient Mesopotamia grappled with a political problem that still haunts our economies today: when people's debts grow faster than their ability to repay them, the entire economic system can start to crack. Hammurabi adopted a radical solution: cancel debts entirely. Amanda H Podany, professor emeritus of history at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and a research affiliate at New York University, tells The Story of Money hosts, FT columnist Gillian Tett and FT Alphaville editor Robin Wigglesworth, what these debt jubilees say about how the ancient Mesopotamian economy worked and what it might teach us about debt today.

The studio is wafting with sandalwood and intense male musk because Dave's got a new scent, something which is causing John much nasal fascination. But yet again, the big story is a huge Elis James week. What a run he's on by the way. He's had a completely genuine standing ovation at one of London's coolest comedy gigs. Further still, he's performed the finest bit of house jobbery he's ever done, with plumbing tape elevating this above Mega Week. Elsewhere, Adrian brings the boys some significant crispy content and John's even sacking people who no longer work with him.

Gudrun Johnston has a deep legacy in Shetland knitting: her father's family comes from the islands, and her mother founded a knitwear company that blended contemporary silhouettes with Fair Isle motifs, a business she called the Shetland Trader. But although Gudrun grew up wearing her mother's designs, she didn't learn to knit from her. Growing up largely elsewhere in Scotland, she learned the craft as a child, but it didn't become central to her life for decades. She eventually fell in love with knitting, thousands of miles from Shetland. In 2007, she published her first design, a skirt in a hemp-blend yarn for her daughter. From that point, knitting and Shetland drew her back more and more. Developing her own design style, she incorporated stitches and motifs from traditional knitting and found a deep affinity with yarn milled locally from the traditional dual-coated sheep. As generations of local knitters did before her, she draws on elements from elsewhere but gives them a distinctly Shetland flair. Although knitters worldwide know about haps and Fair Isle knitting today, the island's knitting tradition has faced economic threats over the years. Many knitters practiced the craft to make a bit of income, and a better-paying option (an oil terminal that opened in the mid-1970s) led to the dwindling of the cottage knitting industry. However, in tandem with the active local guild, Shetland Wool Week, and the new Shetland Organisation of Knitters, local knitters have preserved their traditions and are happy to share their knowledge. Gudrun unites her own style with her Shetland roots in her designs, most recently the book Grand Shetland Adventure Knits, which she co-authored with her friend Mary Jane Mucklestone. She is at work on a new book exploring colorwork in a collection of knitted vests.

How do we learn to see one another as human again in a moment shaped by fear, fragmentation, and outrage? In this episode, photographer, author, and storyteller John Noltner joins Corey Nathan as part of TP&R's ongoing Weavers series in partnership with Weave: The Social Fabric Project. John's work spans five continents and centers on a simple but demanding conviction: storytelling and art can help restore trust, dignity, and connection in a divided world. From Minneapolis in the midst of national attention to the U.S. southern border, Northern Ireland, and beyond, John reflects on what it means to bear witness without exploiting pain, to listen without trying to win, and to practice proximity rather than abstraction. The conversation explores how curiosity can disarm contempt, why relationship must precede disagreement, and what it takes to stay open to human connection without becoming numb to suffering.

Small textile towns were once common in New England, with stout brick buildings harnessing the power of the region's water to mill yarn and cloth. The Colony family had been owners of a mill in Harrisville, New Hampshire, since before the Civil War, but by the mid-twentieth century, such factories had begun to disappear. In 1970, 53 mills closed in New England, the Colony family's among them. John Colony (known as Chick) returned from serving in the Coast Guard to a mill town without a working mill. Chick saw that the small town would wither unless a new project came in to fill the gap. After considering the options, he had the idea: What better use could there be for an old mill village than to make yarn? So shortly after his father and uncle closed down the mill, Chick opened a business making woolen yarn on some of the same old equipment. The new endeavor was scaled back in scope, but yarn was coming from the old mill buildings once again under the label of a new company, Harrisville Designs. The town's buildings and surrounding watershed became the center of a historic preservation effort. More than 50 years later, Harrisville is known as the best preserved early textile village in the country. Harrisville Designs's woolen-spun yarns are dyed in the wool, blending 12 or 13 brightly dyed fibers into dozens of subtle heathered hues. Initially developed for weaving, the yarns have become popular among knitters looking for yarns with character. The next generation, Chick's son Nick Colony, has taken on management of the mill, developing knitting yarns such as their Nightshades color line and small-batch Shear as well as updating the company's energy production and manufacturing facilities. Harrisville Designs has produced a range of weaving looms for decades, but the youngest weavers probably know the company for their potholder looms. Realizing that the potholder loops and looms on the market were poor quality, Harrisville developed a metal loom and experimented to develop cotton loops in a range of bright colors. Weavers, knitters, and history enthusiasts may all know Harrisville for different reasons, but the effort that began in 1971 as a preservation project has created new futures in this small New Hampshire town.

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #245 Sara Weaver (feat Tanner Lineberry) Ruby Ridge To Freedom, Author "But did you ask?" This is what Yehuda Remer (RSWC #012) said a time or two. Tanner Lineberry, who works at Second Amendment Foundation, said that Sara Weaver, Randy Weaver's daughter, was going to be speaking at Gun Rights Policy Conference in Salt Lake City. I had to ask if she would be up for doing the show. She wanted to think about it. Then she was reminded about it a couple weeks before GRPC when I did a post about reading her book. Fortunately, she said she would. Score! Tanner and Marc, Sara's husband, joined us in the car for the show. Tanner starts by sharing that when he was a youth, Sara came to his church in Montana and gave a speech. The speech impacted him on a few levels and he remembered it for several years. It was his idea to have Sara come to GRPC and sit down to talk about what happened with Mark Walters from Armed American Radio (RSWC #002 & #084). If you don't know about the incident at Ruby Ridge, there's plenty of information about it out there, including a documentary on PBS. The quick story is that Randy, a former Green Beret, moved his family to Idaho. He was asked by someone (an ATF agent) to make him a sawed off shotgun, which he did as he needed the money to feed his family. The agent said Weaver needed to become an informant for them or they were going to prosecute him on the sawed off shotgun charges. He said no to both options. After some botched information on a court date Weaver didn't show up for the trial. Then the ATF went to the Weaver's property. After an 11 day stand off, Sara's brother, mother, and dog were dead, shot by the ATF. There are shocking parts of the story that you should read about. So, get the book and read it! This had a deep and profound effect on Sara, as it would for anyone. After the standoff, there was lots being said and assumed by the media and other people. Most of it just wasn't true. Sara and Randy wrote a book about the incident. They traveled the country, going to gun shows to sell and sign their self published book. People lined up to buy signed copies of the book. Remember, this was back in the 1990s when it wasn't so easy to get your own book published. The book is what happened from their point of view, not what the media was portraying. And definitely not what people were saying and thinking about the Weavers. Sara was able to pick up and continue with her life, but it wasn't easy. There were years of survivor's guilt and questioning religion. Why did this happen to her? Why did this happen at all? How was she going to live and raise her own family? Eventually, she was able to go back and read John 3:16 and John 3:17 in her Bible. And that is when she met and started a relationship with Jesus. Like many people, she learned those verses in church as a young child, but it didn't have an impact or sink in until years later and life was different for her. The relationship with Jesus helped her heal as much as could be done. She remarried and started anew. Going through the stand off and everything that happened usually takes her about four and a half hours. And it's emotionally draining. It isn't just headlines and new stories. It's her life. I'm very thankful for Tanner for making the introduction. And very grateful for Sara and Marc to open up about this. This was a very serious topic about life and what happens after a life changing week and a half. The impact that Ruby Ridge had on Sara was enormous. But the story of Ruby Ridge lives on. It still comes up when people talk about the government or the ATF. You owe it to one of the survivors to read the story and take it all in. Favorite quotes: "Dad did not know this guy asking him to do this was working undercover for the feds or he, obviously, wouldn't have done it." "I think it's important we learn from the past. I think we should learn from Ruby Ridge." "The thing I think we've lost in a lot of areas is sanctity of life. And once it's gone, you can't get it back." "When you're just surviving your emotions, you're not really living."

In this episode we are talking about the Weaver family. Ward Weaver Jr., Ward Weaver III, and Francis Weaver are three generations of Weavers who displayed vicious criminality. All experienced violence during childhood and went on to repeat the cycle of violence. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Weaver family. Ward Weaver Jr committed murder and sexual assault. His son Ward Weaver III abducted and murdered Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis. His son Francis was ultimately involved in a murder as well. Nature vs. nurture is a question that comes up often in true crime cases, and this might be one of the most fascinating examinations of that. You can help support the show through Patreon.

A Weaver's Journey of Art, Advocacy, and Belonging — from WEAVE: The Social Fabric Project In this edition of our special Weavers series, we sit down with Nikki Harris—fiber artist, mother, advocate, and community connector from Baltimore, Maryland. Through art and action, Nikki embodies what it means to weave the social fabric. She shares her journey from self-taught fiber artist to founding HGE Designs, and from 911 dispatcher to autism advocate with Pathfinders for Autism. This conversation delves into what it truly means to create space—for healing, for connection, and for community. Nikki opens up about raising her son Roman, navigating systems as a caregiver, and the spiritual resilience it takes to serve while healing herself. Calls to Action ✅ TELL A FRIEND ABOUT TP&R!!!

Flannel Man, Mantids, Greys, and a three year retreat disguised as an illness and bed-ridden surrender. Plus, the first course in the Mystery School for the BrokenHearted is here. Today on the podcast, I welcome Courtney Buterbough. Courtney is an empath, spiritual seeker, and lifelong experiencer of anomalous phenomena, but it wasn't until she became severely ill with long Covid in 2020 and began a profound spiritual awakening that she started to have conscious contact, and finally became aware of the broad story of her experiences. All of this has sparked a deep passion in Courtney for experiencer stories, and an interest in using her skills as a mystic, creative, former doula, and inheritor of a familial-based folk magic tradition to be a help to those who are also doing the work of bridging humans from this profound now into whatever comes next. Courtney is a wife, mother, Appalachian, “art school survivor,” and aspiring Bodhisattva who writes about these and other things on her Substack, The Unidentified Felt Object The first course of the Mystery School for the BrokenHearted is here.

Across continents and generations, the art of weaving has connected humans for thousands of years. But it's dying out. Ella Al-Shamahi speaks to two women from The Netherlands and Turkey about their passion for preserving the traditional craft.Turkish social entrepreneur Damla Saydam founded Qirqit Studio to help preserve the endangered tradition of handwoven Turkish rugs. She was inspired by her family's weaving heritage and memories of helping her aunt weave as a child. Damla collaborates with village women, many of whom have been weaving for decades and otherwise would have stopped, to ensure they receive fair wages and recognition for their craft.Erna Janine from The Netherlands runs Freeweaver Studio in London, driven by her love of sustainable fashion and enthusiasm to share the joy of weaving with others. Both her grandmothers inspired her love of the craft: one was a shepherd who processed her own wool and the other was one of the last women in Holland to wear traditional costume.Produced by Emily Naylor(Image: (L) Damla Saydam courtesy Damla Saydam.

How one rural weaver is helping neighbors feel seen, supported, and connected in Wilkes County, NC — and what we can learn from her example. We are kicking off something special. This episode is the first in a new ongoing series highlighting Weavers — local leaders around the country who are rebuilding trust and community from the ground up through Weave: The Social Fabric Project (weavers.org). Our inaugural guest is LB Prevette — a “rural rejuvenator,” community connector, and what she jokingly (but truthfully) calls an “aggressive friend.” LB is based in Wilkes County, North Carolina, where she works to create safe, inclusive, deeply rooted community spaces for queer youth, neighbors in recovery, families, and folks who don't always feel seen in small-town America. We talk about what it means to leave home — and to return to it. We talk about pain, belonging, queerness in Appalachia, rebuilding trust one relationship at a time, and why community isn't built in speeches — it's built in porches, casseroles, group texts, and checking in at the exact moment someone needs it. And we talk about Merle's — the community bar / gathering space LB helped co-found — a place that feels less like a bar and more like your cool aunt's house party where everyone belongs. This is not a story about charity. It's a story about returning to each other.

Greg Jenner is joined in medieval Scandinavia by historian Dr Eleanor Barraclough and comedian Chloe Petts to learn about the fascinating women of the Viking age. The popular stereotype of the Vikings is pretty macho: bearded men on boats, heading out to raid, pillage and burn down monasteries. There are some famous images of Viking warrior women: shieldmaidens, Valkyries and various goddesses. But what about the lives led by ordinary women in medieval Scandinavia and across the Viking world? In this episode we look at the real history behind the myths and stereotypes, exploring daily life for Viking women: their roles as wives and mothers, the work they did as weavers and healers, the gods they prayed to, the archaeological traces they left behind, as well as the sad reality that many women in the Viking world were enslaved. We also look at women who lived lives out of the ordinary – as queens, sorceresses, and warriors. If you're a fan of feminist history, the intimate details of daily life in the past, and fantastical myths and legends, you'll love our episode on Viking Women. If you want to know more about the Vikings, check out our episodes on Leif Erikson and Old Norse Literature. And for more fearsome warrior women, there's our episode on Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba. You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past. Hosted by: Greg Jenner Research by: Clara Chamberlain Written by: Clara Chamberlain, Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow, Emma Nagouse, and Greg Jenner Produced by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow and Greg Jenner Audio Producer: Steve Hankey Production Coordinator: Gill Huggett Senior Producer: Emma Nagouse Executive Editor: Philip Sellars

Hazel Tindall can't remember a time before she knew how to knit. Hazel learned to knit when knitting for sale was the only way that women earned money, when a job outside the home in town was too far to travel. Although her mother found knitting a chore, Hazel liked it, not only knitting sweater yokes for sale but exploring yarns and designs from outside her local sphere. When knitting was work, knitters put down their needles on Sundays, but in time knitting became a pleasure rather than a job for Hazel. She started knitting every day of the week. Eventually she began selling for sale not just sweaters but also designs for sweaters, vests, gloves, hats, and other colorwork designs. Loving color, she avoids sludgy color combinations in favor of bright hues. One member of the Shetland Guild of Spinners, Knitters, Weavers & Dyers read about a World's Fastest Knitter competition, and the group believed that they could do better than the current standard. Hazel was found to be the fastest knitter in the group, so off she went to the contest, winning the title. Later, she traveled to Minnesota to defend the title; to her knowledge, she hasn't been beaten!
