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. O.S. - .

waxed paper or aluminum

cubes in. This prevents them
from sticking to the tray; and
makes It easy to transfer them
to ice bucket or whatever.
