As far as I recall the second verse goes

Up and down the City Road
In and out the Eagle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel

I always thought (don't know where I got it from, my East End Londoner
Mum
maybe) that this referred to the City Road in East London, and the Eagle
was
the pub, which was where the money went !!
Love Christine

The one I heard was used, I learned as a nursery rhyme:

All around the mulberry bush,
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought is was all for fun,
PoP goes the weasel.

Allededly if you did this right, the word POP marked a yard wound.

Our song was

Half a pound of tupperny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
POP goes the weasel

I am sure there is! There is an answer thet leads to a news/discussion
group;
and there is a message:

When my kids were at playgroup, they were taught a song that went:

Wind the bobbin up
Wind the bobbin up
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap
(and repeat verse)

Point to the ceiling, point to the floor
Point to the window, point to the floor

Wind the bobbin up
Wind the bobbin up
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap

The woman who introduced the song, said she had amalgamated several
different versions.

That's great Els, thankyou... Now I'll copy that to the back of my weaving
work book...

Cheers....Cher


I am still looking for the fulling song and the Spinner/ weavers name who
was singing it at the "Praise of Hands Fair, some decades ago in the
Toronto Science Center. I could go on line and see if they have records
of this Fair at the Science Center. It was a huge event, all about
crafts. I have fond memories of it. I also have a set of slides of the
huge working drawing loom from China. One weaver sat behind the multe
shaft loom and the other sat a whole floor higher in the castle of this
loom and manipulated the pattern shafts from above. When the Science
Center found out that I had a set of slides they contacted me and we
exchange the slides I had done with the ones they had done. I do think
that there is only a couple of these loom still being used in China. It
is so sat to see this all disappear.

Here is one Niddy Noddy, Niddy Noddy
Two heads with one body

I'll sit and sew tell very late=A0and never go to bed.
*************************************************
So in the poem of Niddy Noddy, it means one stitch.
In knitting. B/c it said two heads in one body, meaning knitting, not
one head, like in crochet. Neat.
Pam-Doggirl3 =A0

A Niddy Noddy is a center piece of wood or dowel, and at each end there is
a cross peace of dowling. These two pieces sit opposite to one and
other. Now when you have spun a full bobbin on your wheel, you skein it
with your niddy noddy. It has two heads but one body, and when you use
it, it sort of nids and nods....LOL A Niddy Noddy is used for Skeining. I
have a big one, you can find in Keep me Warm One Night. Otto copied it
out of that book and each turn is 2 yards in length. I also have a
smaller one that colapses so I can take it with me to spinning meets.

I would think so Cher. although do not forget that knitting, and spinning
and weaving was very often done by men as well. I know the shepherts,
while to walked over the moores in Holland, alwasy had knitting on the
go. They used a beautifully carved knitting stick, that was pused behind
there belt. One of the knitting needles was stuck in the end so they only
used one hand for knitting. That left one hand free for other tasks.

The seamen in the Scottish Isles used to knit and their special patterns
denoted which island and family they were from.. in case they were found
