Late 19th Brass Heart/Boteh Shaped Knitting Stick, with punched holes to the edge stitched to attach the padded backing, with elastic waist tie, 12cm by 7cmKnitting Stick Collection, with many of the items purchased from the 'Terrible Knitters of Dent', the last surviving being Betty Hartley and Elizabeth Middleton both from Dent.The knitters would gather in one cottage at the end of the day and knit by the firelight, telling old tales and singing old knitting songs. If a stitch was dropped the knitter would call 'Turn o'wer a pe-at' to give out a bit more light. Needles 'pricks' were made of curved wire sharpened on the doorstep, wool was called 'garn' and was rough and hard wearing. The garn was delivered from the merchants in Kendal and knitters paid for what they produced. Everyone knitted, men, women and children, the money they raised from knitting made up the difference between 'poverty' and just being 'poor'.
