A KNITTER'S REQUEST.

[To THE EDITOR OT THE " SPECTATOR.") • shall be very glad if ang of your readers will send me odd skeins and balls of wool, any colour, any thickness—smallest contributions welcome. I have knitted sixteen blankets (6 ft. by 4 ft.) out of these oddments collected from and by friends, but my supply is very low. Some of the first went to Serbia and to prisoners of war in Germany, and others to Red Cross centres and Roehampton. I believe they are used for the convalescents sitting out or in invalid chairs. I shall gladly acknowledge parcels if the kind donor. will give a name and address.—I am,

Sir, &c., (Mrs.) Aim R. CoLviu.s, Polmont Park, Palmate, Seirlingskire.
