Sarah Haskell, Computerized Weaving \xa0 There's a column in the November 1983 issue of Family Computing magazine, by Jon Zonderman: "Home Business \u2014 Compute, Control, and Create. A weaver combines the traditional skills of her craft with a computer and reaps more than one reward."\xa0 \xa0 The article is about Sarah Haskell, a weaver who used an Atari computer to design patterns for weaving, and also to computer-control her loom.\xa0 \xa0 [Excerpts from the article.] \xa0 My interview with Sarah took place on November 13, 2017. \xa0 Teaser quote: "But with the electronic system, you did not have to get down on the floor and physically re-configure all of the treadles with these little metal hook things. You would basically just change it." \xa0 Article in Family Computing magazine \xa0 Pictures of Sarah with an Atari 800 \xa0 Macomber Looms and Me blog \xa0 About Sarah \xa0 Macomber Looms
