Finger knitting
is easy to learn
By BUROKER -
& HUNTSINGER
An expert knitter or cro-
cheter can soon convince one
that the hand is quicker than
the eye. But even if you
haven't learned either of
these skills, if you have a little
patience, you can soon learn
to finger knit. It is something
man, woman or child can
easily learn to do, provided
one has some patience.
No other tools are required
except the four fingers of one
hand and the index finger and
thumb of the other hand. Any
type of regular knitting yarn
will serve as material.
First, make a loop at one
end of the yarn. Knot it over
your middle finger, just below
the first knuckle. Pull the end
of the knot to the back of your
hand, and follow these direc-
tions
irecttions carefully and exactly:
Bring the yarn to the back
of your ring or fourth finger,
then around in front of your
little finger, and all around it.
When the yarn is back in front

again, pass at over the'fr-ont of
your ring finger and back be.
hind your middle finger.
Continue winding around
the front of your linden or first
finger, and around to its back.
At this point, one loop of
yarn should be around each
finger, just below the first
knuckle of each.
Now, bring the wool in front
of the middle finger again,
back behind the ring finger,
around the little finger, in
front of the ring finger, back
of the middle finger and
around the index finger once
more so that each finger will
then have two loops.
The next step is to slip the
bottotn loop over the top loop
on the index finger. Do exact-
ly the same with the middle,
ring, and little fingers. Then
repeat the whole process as
before until once again, each
finger has two loops. Again,
repeat the slipping process,
always beginning with your
index finger.
Don't be discouraged be-
cause your "knitting" doesn't
look right! It won't until
you've repeated these steps at
least ten times. By then, how-
ever, a "tail" will appear,
with that original knot at its
tip. As you keep on with the
winding and slipping proce-
dure, this section will
lengthen and prove to be a
soft, even interlocked chain.
You can make it as long as
you wish with a knot at the
slipped off ends. Wrap the
ends with sewing thread real
tight, and paint them with nail
polish for a finished edge or
let the ends form a tassel if
preferred.
The results can be a pretty
hair ribbon, a belt, or a neck-
lace, as well as the discovery
that finger knitting can beat
thumb twiddling any day.

Lighting, pose enhance
picture
By GILBERT HILL
Great pictures of children
or pets depend almost entire-
ly on an appealing expression
or pose — pins good lighting.
The trick Ls application of a
f• ew simple guidelines — and
not the elaborate studio setup
sometimes suggested, which
may be quite helpful but not
necessary.
Keep the background sim-
ple because you want to con-
centrate attention on your
model. A posing stool, bench,
or table is helpful both to help
the photographer with cam-
era angles, and to help con-
tain the subject within a
given "focus area."
The best expressions and
composit%n often occur just
before, during, or of ted" one of
those sudden coMpletely un-
expectedjnriesnents, usually
in an attempt to e0cape.
.thee' must be ejough
light for fast shutter speeds
and an alert photographer's
trigger finger. If there is an
assistant, a parent, or a pet
owner whorcan keep attention
focused away from the cam-
era there will be fewer Remembernear-
methat so-called
"normal" light always comes
from above, the sun, room
lights, or general lighting —
although anyone can think of
many exceptions, such as a
campfire or a reading lamp.
CAKE TIME—The story,. the pose, the expression is what
makes a great picture even if the lighting is just adequate
as demonstrated here when a child makes his first memo-
rable contact with a piece of chocolate cake—doubly effec-
tive in color, of course.

no
matter, what the model does,
the basic lighting should be
on, or near, the camera posi-
tion, This is thereason flash -
on -camera works so well in
less formal situations. And a
strong -front or main light --
or lights — on a stand kir-
ward of the camera will give
more modeling, as a strong
highlight forms on top of the
nose and then fades into weak
shadow, to give the face
"roundness."
With front lights high
enough, and with the "posing
bench" pulled far enough
away from the background (4
to 6 feet usually), those typi-
cal harsh and annoying
"flash shadows" will disap-
pear behind the bench.
Front lights take many
forms. The current fad is for
lights bounced into huge cloth
reflectors or umbrellas,
which does give a very soft?
but sometimes quite flat
lighting when not used prop-
erly. Simple bounce of a
strong light off a low white
ceiling work well, too.
But the real punch of a .pic-
ture comes from the back or
side lighting which "rim
lights" the subject and makes*
it stand out from the back-
ground in almost third di-
mension. Two lights, one on
each side, are turned toward
the camera from the back-
ground. They are then angled
toward the subject to give ac-
tually a combination of both
back and side light, and, at
the same time keep the direct
rays of the light out of the
camera lens.
These backlights can be
any kind of light, electronic
flash, or tungsten lights in fe-
flectors, or flash bulbs. But
they must be synchronized, of
course, either with an electric
eye or by direct connections
with the camera and main
light.

Out once lighting is set for-

whether he knows the child or
not — or even likes cats.
