PREFACE.

The examples of knitting, contained in the following pages, have been
selected with the greatest care,--many are original,--and the whole are
so arranged as to render them comprehensible even to a novice in the
art.

Knitting being so often sought, as an evening amusement, both by the
aged and by invalids, a large and distinct type has been adopted,--as
affording an additional facility. The writer feels confident in the
recommendation of "MY KNITTING BOOK," and humbly hopes it may meet with
the same liberal reception that has been accorded to her "HAND-BOOK OF
NEEDLEWORK."

The numerous piracies that have been committed on her last mentioned
work, have been one inducement to publish this little volume; and from
the low price at which it is fixed, nothing, but a very extended
circulation, can ensure her from loss. Some few of the examples have
been selected from the chapter on knitting, in the "HAND-BOOK."
