Learn how to weave these beautiful bands step by step, from the simple 5 pattern threads to the more complex 7 and 9 patterns. Color photographs illustrate the instructions for learning to weave. More than 140 patterns are included, along with principles for planning your own unique designs for contemporary uses such as straps, belts, bracelets, and even handfasting bands.

This volume provides an ambitious synopsis of the complex, colourful world of textiles in ancient Mediterranean iconography. A wealth of information on ancient textiles is available from depictions such as sculpture, vase painting, figurines, reliefs and mosaics. Commonly represented in clothing, textiles are also present in furnishings and through the processes of textile production. The challenge for anyone analysing ancient iconography is determining how we interpret what we see. As preserved textiles rarely survive in comparable forms, we must consider the extent to which representations of textiles reflect reality, and critically evaluate the sources. Images are not simple replicas or photographs of reality. Instead, iconography draws on select elements from the surrounding world that were recognisable to the ancient audience, and reveal the perceptions, ideologies, and ideas of the society in which they were produced. Through examining the durable evidence, this anthology reveals the ephemeral world of textiles and their integral role in the daily life, cult and economy of the ancient Mediterranean.

"A vibrant volume of knitting, felting, and weaving projects that reflect what the author contends are the 'values and beliefs core to Scandinavian life.'" — Publishers Weekly By exploring the cultures and traditions behind the charm of Nordic crafts, you can enjoy extra-meaningful making! The twenty-five projects mix unusual and more-familiar patterns and techniques, ranging from danskbrogd pillows and monk's belt guest towels to knitted bags, rosemaling with wool, and a rug inspired by Icelandic terrain. Peek into the values and beliefs core to Scandinavian life—nature, community, craftsmanship, and sustainability. For each value, create four to seven beautiful and thoughtfully designed fiber art projects featuring knitting, felting, and weaving. Each project's difficulty level is marked (beginner, advanced beginner, and intermediate). Projects by respected designers including Becky Ashenden, Laura Berlage, Sara Bixler, Susan J. Foulkes, Lisa Hill, Tom Knisely, Jan Mostrom, and John Mullarkey, to name just a few. Twelve projects are felting or knitting; thirteen projects are weaving (rigid heddle, inkle, tapestry, tablet, and finger weaving). The twenty-five projects include these and more: Nature Nordic Summer and Winter Knitted Throw Felted Telemark Bouquet Community Rustic Linen Placemats Monk's Belt Towels of Welcome Craftsmanship Knitted Sølje Curtains to Celebrate the Sun A Nordic Sweater for Your Laptop Sustainability Rags-to-Riches Rug Cup Cozies to Go "Osterhaug's close connection to her heritage is palpable, and her accomplishments as a journalist, writer, and fiber artist earn this book a spot in any crafter's library as the resource on all things Nordic." —Christine Jablonski, Handwoven

Beyond Thalassocracies aims to evaluate and rethink the manner in which archaeologists approach, understand, and analyze the various processes associated with culture change connected to interregional contact, using as a test case the world of the Aegean during the Late Bronze Age (c. 1600–1100 BC). The 14 chapters compare and contrast various aspects of the phenomena of Minoanisation and Mycenaeanisation, both of which share the basic underlying defining feature of material culture change in communities around the Aegean. This change was driven by trends manifesting themselves in the dominant palatial communities of each period of the Bronze Age. Over the past decade, our understanding of how these processes developed and functioned has changed considerably. Whereas current discussions on Minoanisation have already been informed by more recent theoretical trends, especially in material culture studies and post‐colonial theory, the process of Mycenaeanisation is still very much conceptualized along traditional lines of explanation. Since these phenomena occurred in chronological sequence, it makes sense that any reappraisal of their nature and significance should target those regions of the Aegean basin that were affected by both processes, highlighting their similarities and differences. Thus, in the present volume we focus on the southern and eastern Aegean, in particular the Cyclades, Dodecanese, and the north-eastern Aegean islands.
