most important to you nee
dleworkers. knits are better
than ever. And the look of
handknits is what every de
signer is promoting.
So here’s a real fashion
winner to start i'ork on now.
and you’ll be ready for fall
with flying fashion honors.
This handsome, striped
jacket and pleated skirt are
surprisingly easy to work.
Particularly for you sea
sonal knitters. Remember, a
little experience in knitting
goes a long way. Both jacket
and skirt are easy to work,
using No. 6 needles for the
back and No. 8 needles on
the stripe pattern The stripe
pattern is a series of kl, pl
rows, working with three
colors—really easy and fun
to do. The yarn is Bear
Brand, Fleischer or Shet
land; you’ll use from 21 to 27
two-ounce skeins, depending
on the size (10-14).
For your investment,
you’ll have a truly hand

cost at least S3OO from a
handknit boutique.

KNIT KNACKS
DEAR JUDY—How do you
cast on during work? I am
knitting my first sweater
and the directions simply
tell me to do so. What ex
actly shall I do? This is an
other simple-knitter query
for you. Thanks.—B. G.. Ana
heim, Calif.
DEAR B. G—Several
readers have asked me this
question, so it’s not all that
simple or uncommon a prob
lem. Here’s how to cast on
during work:
Turn work so needle to
which yarn is attached is
held in left hand. Insert tip
of right-hand needle into
first stitch, pass yarn under
and over and draw it through
stitch; leave stitch worked
in on left-hand needle.
Now, transfer new stitch
from right-hand needle to
left-hand needle. Repeat for
the required number of
stitches, then turn work
again and continue as the
directions specify.
Good luck.—JUDY

POLLY’S POINTERS
Use ‘Button* Cushion
As Embroidery ‘Center*
By POLLY CRAMER
DEAR POLLY—When hemming a skirt or dress by
hand, place a cushion on your lap and have finer work
that is easier to do
When doing embroidery work, try using a corduroy
cushion, preferably one with a large button in the center.
This center holds the thimble and small scissors, all the
different colors of floss needed are placed at one corner,
a skein of floss divided for work on another corner and
there is space left for the unusable short ends The floss
sticks to the corduroy and is kept orderly When work is
stopped for the time being the material being worked on
stays on top —M BL.
Polly's Problem
DEAR POLLY—I was recently given a cowhide
leather Bible cover but it has an overwhelming
musty odor. Is there anything that will eliminate
this?—EVELYN
DEAR POLLY—Mv Pet Peeve is the neglect of the
small woman in the 30-to-50 age group who has a good
figure, looks younger than her age, wants to dress styl
ishly without having to wear the very young and juvenile
or hippie fashions she finds in size 8. I find so many of
the clothes in small sizes are faddish and not suited to us
forgotten ones. I wish we could see more publications
frequently featuring the “typical" woman and show that
they too, can look stylish and lovely and be suitably
dressed—not too young-looking and not too matronly —
SARA
DEAR POLLY-All Mrs. S. A. C. has to do to solve her
problem with the metal bathroom stool is to remove all
the paint and then sand with fine sandpaper At an auto
supply store, buy a small can of body primer and spray
this on the stool. It dries very fast, then she can apply
the paint of her choice. This works well for me -
EDWARD
DEAR POLLY—To make
an extra dirty clothes
"hamper,” use a pillow
case held to two coat hang
ers by six clothespins,
three on each hanger. The
pins stay in place better if
you first crochet around
the hangers.—MßS. R.
E P.
DEAR GIRLS—When a
house plant needs support
to hold it up. a wire coat
hanger works well. Hold hook, pull hanger out as straight
as possible with two wires close together, then bend the
hook so it is at a right angle. Stick end in dirt and catch
hook around the stalk that needs support.—POLLY
