That's great Els, thankyou... Now I'll copy that to the back of my weaving
work book... Cheers....Cher "Els van Dam" wrote in message ... In article , "spinninglilac" wrote: Apparently there used to be words to use when using a Niddy Noddy to make a skein...Anyone know it? cheers.....Cher I do have that in a book somewhere, but there maybe more than one rhyme for that. 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 |

There was yet another verse wasn't there, about
In and out the easel or something......Cher "Ophelia" wrote in message . .. "darinhercules" wrote in message ups.com... 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 |

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 PS just found this website with info http://www.rhymes.org.uk/a116-pop-goes-the-weasel.htm Very interesting, just goes to show my mum knew a thing or two!!

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'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 |
