How
to
Join
Toe
of
Sock,
&c.
Divide
all
the
stitches
on
to
two
needles,
hold
both
in
the
left
hand,
as
if
they
were
one,
and
in
knitting
take
a
loop
off
each
one,
which
knit
together.

off.
Knit
2
stitches;
with
the
left-hand
needle
draw
the
first
over
the
second;
knit
another;
repeat.
Observe
that
the
row
before
the

should
never
be
very
tightly
knitted.

Size
of
Needles.
Take
care
to
have
needles
and
cotton
or
wool
that
are
suitable
to
each
other
in
size.
The
work
of
the
best
knitter
in
the
world
would
appear
ill
done
if
the
needles
were
too
fine
or
too
coarse.
In
the
former
case,
the
work
would
be
close
and
thick;
in
the
latter
it
would
be
too
much
like
a
cobweb.

Instructions
in
Embroidery
and
Canvas
Work.
1858.
Embroidery.
Embroidery,
properly
speaking,
includes
every
sort
of
ornamental
work
done
with
a
sewing
needle
of
any
kind;
but
in
its
popular
acceptation,
it
applies
only
to
the
ornamentation
of
any
article
by
the
eye,
or
from
drawn
or
marked
patterns--whatever
may
be
the
material,
or
combination
of
materials
employed;
Berlin
or
canvas
work,
on
the
contrary,
is
the
usual
designation
of
all
kinds
of
embroidery
on
canvas,
done
by
counting
threads,
and
frequently
by
the
aid
of
a
painting
on
checked
paper.
