A KNITTING CLOCK
For those whose knitting and crochet needles are on active service nowadays, a knitting clock is'j a splendid time-saver. It saves all the bother of marking one's rows, pattern, and the time of counting. A circular dial must be drawn on a square of white cardboard, from two to four inches in diameter.
Outside the dial—the square corners —should be painted any gay colour. Inside the dial, two rows of figures must be printed clearly in ink, numbering from one to twenty-four, clockwise, in the outer ring. A large and small "hand," cut out of cardboard, and painted to match the frame, should be fixed to the exact centre of the dial by means of a brass paper fastener. To use the clock: Set one hand to show the number of pattern rows done, and the other, going in the opposite direction, to show repeats. Set it when you finish work, and when you pick it up next time, you will know just where to go on with the pattern.—"Crystaline."
