Notes from
A Woman’s Workshop
WELL, WE’RE WAITING. . ,
The dully press has been quoting Miss Agnes McPhail and Senator
Iva Fallis, in their criticism of Canadian women’s ceaseless knitting.
Both (suggest that our brains might be better employed in other lines,
possibly producing goods in some of the factories contributing to war
work. Granting the truth of this, can they give us more specific informa
tion? Where are such factories? What do. they make? How many of
us do they need? What qualifications do they demand? The government
has, in oux* registration cards, a supposedly correct index of our potential
value along various lines. We can do little without more positive direc
tion. Furthermore, It appears that it is not fully realized that the
quantities of warm home-knitted garments being shipped to Britain are
largely produced in odd moments which would otherwise be fruitless,
and the work is done entirely by free labor. Personally, I’ni tired of being
labelled “complacent”, We need someone to tell us just what to do—and
we’ll do it.

little care and thought will- prevent
the work from becoming too tire
some and monotonous. First, a
comfortable seat with good light
should be chosen. Find out what
you personally require to secure
greatest comfort in position (I find
that a cushion under my left elbow
takes the strain'from the shoulder).
To overcome eyestrain, train your
self to knit without constantly
watching your needles. I find that
a steady, rhythmic movement
cdmplishes more than hurried,
accurate needleplay. When
fingerwork becomes a habit, „ I

<the end. Needles should be chosen
with due regard to the looseness or
tightness of your knitting. Cast
ing on and off should be done very
loosely; an extra chain between thei
regular stitches gives a stronger I
edge. If a bit of simple work is
kept handy, many odd moments can
be saved. A reader of the page
says she keeps a string of buttons
in her bag to count rows or stitch
es. That seems a good idea.
And • by the way, knitting is. onea
of the very old arts. ‘Coming from
