Strawbridge & Clothier's quarterly . the onenext to it, and looping the threads over thesecond foundation-cord, until the first rowis completed. These diagonal bunchesform the row of open diamonds next to theborder. The effect of this first row is seenin Figure 2. The knot used in forming the secondrow is known as Solomons-knot. Takethe first four threads at the left of the desk,attach the two middle ones to a button onthe waist, so that about half-a-yard of thethreads will be tighdy stretched betweenthe board and the person. Take the looseright-hand thread and throw it over thetwo middle ones, leaving a large loose loopon the right-hand side ; bring the left-handthread over the portion of the right whichhas already been passed over the two mid-dle threads, pass the same under the twomiddle threads, and then through the looseloop made by the right-hand thread on theright-hand side; draw the two threads tighdy in an opposite direction. This willbe understood by studying the details inFigure 3. Reverse the process, and so. Fig. 2. continue from right to left and from left toright; forming a series of right-hand andleft-hand knots. Finish a group of eightknots. Treat the next four threads in thesame manner ; and so proceed across theboard. Return to the left of the desk. Of thefirst four threads take the right-hand thread,and of the second four threads take the left-hand thread ; cross them diagonally, andloosely. Work the left-hand thread broughtfrom the second group of four threads asthe right-hand thread of the first group;and, the right-hand thread brought fromthe first group as the left-hand thread of thesecond By this means we have the singlecrossing threads seen between the solidgroups in Figure 3. Having crossed thethreads, work beneath them a series of eightknots as before. Repeat the process acrossthe board, and so continue until four rowsof solid groups of eight knots, have beenformed, each row separated by a row ofcrossing threads. Pass all the hanging thre
