TESTED TIPS
(By Vera Wise.)Copyright. ft is of great assistance, when knitting, to use needles that are in sharp colour contrast to the wool. Dark needles with light wool and vice versa will, help the icorker to see the stitches more easily. A dropped stitch is picked up more readily with a crochet hook than a knitting needle, and does not pull the work out of shape. . The best way to keep count of rows when decreasing or increasing stitches is to run a thread of coloured cotton in at the starting point. Counting will then he correct instead of guesswork; which may throw the work out of proportion. A knitted jumper or other garment should always be pressed before stitching up the seams. It will thus keep its shape better and any puckering at the joins will be avoided.
