B SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 26, 1961 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. We don't "cover the waterfront" but the society editor nil Phntmrranhnr Boh certainly covered Medford last week As a result of a hectic schedule of luncheons, dinners and teas, this column didn't get written at the usual time and since 4:30 p.m. Saturday is no time to sian a major project, - thin will he a Quickie. .- : We'd probably skip the whole thing except for one thing the' headline on th picture page, roipourn ana rai x-eK couldn't resist the impluse to use the head which is on It, but EA thought perhaps we should explain to the non-knitters , what "KI, P2 " means. It is the shortened form of "knit 1, i purl 2" found In all knitting instructions, Knit ana pun 1 hoins thp tan hasic stitches of this handicraft. t We started to think about the knitting page several I weeks ago. It was the suggestion of EA's wife, Betty, who I pointed out the great revival in Knitting wnicn nas siruc i women of the Rogue valley, and we had the help of Mrs. 1 1.. P. Wilmeth of Mann's store in finding out who knits and -uuhn rtnosn't It turned out to be fascinating, and if this ' reporter had some extra time, we'd take needles in hand 5 Curious as to the origin of the word, we took down the World Book volume with the "K's" In It and read a bit. : The term knitting comes from the Anglo-Saxon word "cynt 5 tan" or "knittan", which means to tie or to knot. Knitting 5 Is older than written history, says the book, and the writer I of the text believes that men probably got the Idea as they ! knotted grasses into nets, mats or baskets, btockings were ' the first articles to be knitted, as we knit today, and the 5 people of Scotland are believed to have been the first to knit with wool. . I Although the small knitting machine has come Into . popularity with many today, countless others enjoy making articles by nana witn neeaies large ana nau aim wuu - variety of yarn which is almost endless. S The knitting page brought to mind an article which we ; read some time ago. It was about now economic ana social 1 trpnd around the world affect fashion and customs and S h writer said that extremely short skirts for women and 5 a revival of such handicrafts as knitting and sewing always i precede and accompany widespread economic recessions or ;' depressions.
