CONVENIENT KNITTING BAG

Will Prevent Many Mishaps and Will Keep Ball Clean and In Good Condition. Few things are more aggravating in a small way than to drop a ball of knitting or crochet wool or thread, more especially as such a mishap only too often ends in a hopeless tangle, while the ball is being hunted tor on the floor. A useful knitting bag of the kind shown In our sketch will altogether prevent any accident of this description, and will, moreover, keep the ball clean and in good condition. This bag is made in silk or linen, lined with soft silk, and interlined with thin cardboard and bound at the edge with wide silk ribbon, which,

in its turn, is edged with a line of stitching. The handle consists of a loop of broad ribbon, tied In a bow .at the top and made sufficiently long to allow the bag to be slung comfortably over the left arm whUe at work. On one side there is a hole through which the thread may be drawn without disturbing the bail, and with no risk of pulling It out of Its place. The sides are of silk or linen to match the front and gathered into a binding of ribbon, while on the front of the bag the word “Knitting” is lightly embroidered in silk, chosen in some contrasting shade of color.
