and 9 or 8 inches long, then knit with
strong tidy cotton, in the same way
fringe is knit into mittens. AS it is
heavy and cumbersome work, it is best
to knit it in strips or squares, and then
join together.
Handsome Rugs may be made in the
same way from worsted goods, broad
cloth and other heavy goods, cut about
] an inch in width and or 81 inches
long. Merino, fannels and other thin
goods must be cut little wider. Knit
with good carpet warp in strips and sew
together. Use two coarse steel needles
in knitting. These rugs must not be
swept, but shook and hung on the line,
where the wind will give them a good
airing
Curry.-Take a chicken, turkey, or
cold lamb, cut in small pieces, and put
in frying-pan With about pint or more
boiling water, let it stew few moments,
then take the meat out, thicken the
gravy with little fiour, add a teaspoon
full of curry powder, pepper and salt to
taste, and let it boil up once; have some
rice boiled whole and dry; put it around
the outside of the platter, and in the
center put the meat, and throw the
gravy over the meat, not the rice, and
serve.

stitches; knit plain row; then knit so
rows, increasing stitch at the end of
every row; do this by knitting stitches
in one; If this number of rows make the
toe too deep, knit few less; at the end
of the 80 rows cast off II stitches, knit
to the end of the row; then knit on IL
only a piece sufficiently long to 90
around the foot; knit it to the II stitches
cast off; knit the remainder of the
stitches, and take up stitch on each
row of the piece for the back of the |
foot On these knit a looped fringe to
finish the shoe, thus. Put the needle |
into the next stitch; wind the wool |
times around the first finger of the left |
hand and over the needle; then knit it |
off in the usual way; now take the stitch !
up again with the left needle and make |
another stitch; every stitch is worked
in this manner then knit more rounds |
and cast off These shoes are prettier |
and warmer if knitted in 2 colors in
alternate stripes of 2 rows each. They
may also be knitted in alternate stitches;
the different colOrs are carried on and |
worked in on one side of the work only. /
A sole is required for the shoe; these
may be of fleece or of cork covered with /
quilted satin to match the wool.
