PREFACE.[iii]

The examples of knitting, contained in the following pages, have beenselected with the greatest care,—many are original,—and the whole areso arranged as to render them comprehensible even to a novice in theart.

Knitting being so often sought, as an evening amusement, both by theaged and by invalids, a large and distinct type has been adopted,—asaffording an additional facility. The writer feels confident in therecommendation of "My Knitting Book," and humbly hopes it may meet withthe same liberal reception that has been accorded to her "Hand-Book ofNeedlework."[iv]

The numerous piracies that have been committed on her last mentionedwork, have been one inducement to publish this little volume; and fromthe low price at which it is fixed, nothing, but a very extendedcirculation, can ensure her from loss. Some few of the examples havebeen selected from the chapter on knitting, in the "Hand-Book."
