    PREFACE.


    I venture to publish The New Guide to Knitting and Crochet, believing it will prove both instructive and amusing to those Ladies, whose taste leads them to such pursuits. The Authoress being practically acquainted with these Arts, she warrants them correct, and trusts they will meet with a favourable reception by the Public, and be found a useful appendage to every work-table.

    Hastings, January 1847.
