She learned to knit very quickly, and is making a wash-cloth for her mother. Last week she made her doll an apron, and it was done as well as any child of her age could do it. But I am always glad when this work is over for the day. Sewing and crocheting are inventions of the devil, I think. I'd rather break stones on the king's highway than hem a handkerchief. At eleven we have gymnastics.
She lives in a cave, with plenty of space for her knitting." "Does she knit much?" enquired Sidigunda. "Yes; she knits and spins too. She never leaves off; and never has for hundreds and thousands of years." "What a very old lady she must be! Old enough to be a great-great-great-grandmother!" cried the Princess in astonishment.
To H.S. Boyd December 4, 1842. My very dear Friend, You will think me in a discontented state of mind when I knit my brows like a 'sleeve of care' over your kind praises. But the truth is, I won't be praised for being liberal in Calvinism and love of Byron. I liberal in commending Byron!
But the principles, assumptions, supplementary ideas and modes of expression along all the six lines we have discussed, the style and method according to which the hypothesis is constructed, the multitude of separate presuppositions with which it works, and indeed everything that helps to build up and knit the biological details into a scientific hypothesis, are the materials of rational synthesis in general, and as such are subject to general as well as to biological criticism.
First let us build a structure secure on the outside and firmly knit on the inside, and protected by the ties of a national union.

He kept the purse-strings and was also his own general. He was ever about the streets, accosting idlers roughly, and bidding the very apple-women knit at their stalls while they were awaiting custom. He preached industry everywhere, and drilled his regiments with zealous assiduity. Of tall stature and florid complexion, the King struck terror into the hearts of the coward and miscreant.
Come here, Trautchen. The woollen stockings I knit for him are up in the painted chest. Make haste and fetch them. He may need them on the water in the damp autumn weather. You'll take them with you?" "Willingly, most willingly; and now let me thank you for all your kindness. You have been like an own mother to me."
"You'll keep up the appearance of a sporting expedition, Mr Brooke," he said in a low voice. "I expect you'll find the junks in the river off some village. The rest I must leave to you." "Take them, sir, if I feel pretty certain?" Captain Thwaites knit his brows, and stood as if thinking for a few moments. "No," he said at last; "but that I leave all to your discretion.
The elder infants are getting on nicely; the parents of some are teaching them at home, and they are beginning now to read small words. Most of the girls bring their knitting, and during the interval sit on stones under the low wall and knit away till the bell rings for them to go in again. I used to take mine, but devote the time now to ruling slates. I am teaching Rebekah to write.
But at last the door opened and Julie Le Breton's light step approached. "May I read to you?" she said, gently. Lady Henry coldly commanded the Observer and her knitting.
