The Floral Knitting Book - Or, The Art of Knitting Imitations of Natural Flowers - Anon
LADY.
PREFACE.
ALTHOUGH the art of knitting has already produced almost innumerable articles, both useful and ornamental, the imitation of natural flowers by the knitting needle, has, it is believed, not yet been accomplished. Artificial-flower making would, probably, long ere this, have formed a favourite occupation in the drawing-room, but for the troublesome machinery required for their production.
No apology seems therefore necessary in introducing the present little work to the Public, as by following the simple rules here given, a few skeins of wool and a little wire, suffice to form accurate representations of natural flowers, which will be found an elegant and interesting amusement. As these flowers will bear washing when soiled, they not only form pretty ornaments for the room in vases, but from their durability, might be used for trimming ball dresses; the smaller kinds also, if knitted in silk, look well in bonnets or caps.
As the flowers here imitated are all copied from nature, should any doubt arise as to the exact shade of colour required, it would be well to take a natural flower to the shop, where the colour can be matched sufficiently near, to form an accurate representation. Berlin wool is used for these flowers, but it must always be split in two, unless the contrary is mentioned. This is very easily done, by first winding the skein round the fingers into a little ball; let this drop towards the ground; and, by taking two threads of the wool in each hand, it will be found to unwind itself very easily; wind it on cards, and it will be ready for use.
The white flowers look better, if washed before the wire is put in; warm soap-suds, with a little blue in it, does best for them—they must then be pressed in a clean cloth and dried quickly, either in the sun, or by the fire. The flowers themselves, when soiled, can be washed in the same way, and as the wire remains in, they must be pulled into proper shape when dry.
LESSONS
