I was wondering where my neighbor in WI has been. This sight explains the function of a knitting sheath better than myself. http://freespace.virgin.net/judy.pollitt/ksheaths.htm It has several kinds of pictures of older sheaths. The two sheaths I purchased from Aaron are in the site listed below. They are very simple and more functional the most of the pictures you will see in museums and such. http://gansey.blogspot.com/2006/07/k...g-sheaths.html I am going to knit them for more elaborate sweater designs. They are no easier on the Bond Sweater Machines than needles when you have to change for stitch patters such as cables. If you have any questions I believe Katherine is thinking about trying the sheath out also, we are hoping it speeds our or larger knitting projects Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail |

Can you imagine, at the turn of the last century trying to make a living by knitting on a sheath. The school had the best idea of teaching it to make a living. Please let me know if I answered you question. I can't believe that this method has lain dormant for so many years when all of the articles talk about how it it more efficient as far as tension and speed. Maybe we can bring the sheath back from a long sheath. You will read how the sheath attained a bad rep in this article and may be the reason for it's demise. http://www.daelnet.co.uk/features/knitting/history3.htm Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail |
