Knitting is programming. Read a knitting pattern and it's low level programming - knitters do not get enough credit.

Same with weaving, especially the way symmetry is weft in.

Jaccard looms are too general, too unconstrained. I like shaft looms more gratifying. Their restrictions make it more interesting.

Oh WOW.

It is from some summary of your dad's book that I had understood how shaft looms work.

Such beautiful weaves and such a small world. Happy meeting you here.

A reissue of your dad's book would be wonderful.
