Look what I just found. From an introduction to computers for weavers in a 1983 weaving journal https://computerfairi.es/media/_c7DMF30QPRXghFTZcs
The journal is online here: https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/periodicals/wj_30.pdf
The author ends with :
"Well, my apple word processor tells me that this installment now contains 16,016 ASCII-character-bytes, which is about all that Clotilde has alloted me for this chapter. Join me next time for a chat about computer languages and programming."
I will now go an read all the nice computer stuff in the weavers journals that were published the year I was born ^^ It's a whole series!
This one by Doramay Keasbey sounds nice too!

"Adventures of a computer convert
(computer programming by a novice)
How do you feel about computers applied to weaving? If you have the opportunity to try one, you may be pleasantly surprised! Not so very long ago, I associated computers mainly with large businesses or for use in industrial and scientific processes. Suddenly, it seems, computers are in evidence everywhere from banks and grocery stores to private homes - including those of weavers!"
