"spinninglilac" skrev i melding .. . Apparently there used to be words to use when using a Niddy Noddy to make a skein...Anyone know it? cheers.....Cher Cher! I Googled and tried to find out, because this is interesting! We have a song in Norway, and I wondered if there was a song in English. I am sure there is! There is an answer thet leads to a news/discussion group; and there is a message: "I think there's an old, old song that children would sing while winding yarn - does anyone recall hearing this? Rachel " http://p083.ezboard.com/fknittymagaz...picID=27.topic I am not able to find any answer to this! AUD;-) |

Hang in there I will have a look, this is from the bookHomespun handicrafts by Ella Shannon bowles 1931 Here is one Niddy Noddy, Niddy Noddy Two heads with one body When I'm a grown-up woman, with my hair up on my head I'ill sit and sew tell very late and never go to bed. and this one is out of Certrude Whiting, Old-time tools and toys of needlework. A knitting Rhyme Where's the cat whose twisted cradle All the children, young and old, Have been making-still are making- will be making-turn and fold, twist, and slip, and turn, and double, till the very world is old. Both books were found at seconds tables in Book City, Toronto, years ago and both were reissues in the seventies. Els |

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. |

The way I learned this song was
All around the carpenters bench The monkey chased the weasel The monkey thought it was all in fun POP goes the weasel. A penny for a spool of thread A penny for a needle Thats the way the money goes POP goes the weasel. Don't know why it was a carpenters bench in my family. LOL Marie and the cats |
