Knitting needles

A machine with approximately 1000 needles continuously produces a fabric 5-m wide. The assembly process is more complex, slower, and more expensive than tufting. The pile yam and stitch yam are inserted into the knitting needle, and the stuffer yam is interlocked with the others through a separate feed mechanism of the machine. As with tufting, the loops of the pile fabric formed are sHt, creating the desired individual blades. 

Over the past thirty years, this idea has beclouded research in the field. After examining certain events more closely, the explosion community has begun to wake from a long dogmatic slumber. Previously, the cosmic firework-makers loved to see round supernovas, as beautiful as fruit, whilst in reality it seems that they may be pierced by jets and beams, like balls of wool with knitting needles through them. 

Quantities of casein plastics were cut from rod stock into button blanks, and finished by drilling (to form holes for the thread) and by polishing. For a time the plastic knitting needle (for home knitting) was another important use for the materials, but such needles were broken easily and were unsuitable for delicate work. 

Casein is an insoluble protein found in milk. It is used to make adhesives and fillers, water-resistant coatings, and as an additive in some plastics and commercial food products like non-dairy creamers and soy cheese. The milk from cows, sheep, and goats has been used, alone or mixed with fillers, as gesso or as a tempera medium. Casein mixed with fillers such as sawdust or plant materials has been molded into various objects, such as buttons, knitting needles, button hooks, and jewelry. It has been used as an imitation of ivory under the commercial names erinoid and galalith. 

One example of a system in which the ground state does not possess the symmetry of the Lagrangian is the buckling of a compressed knitting needle shown in figure 5. When vertical pressure on the needle is increased... 

It is also effective in removing iron rust spots which occur from various sources such as rusty loom wires, rusty knitting needles, rust in lubricating oil and in knitting needle oil as well as in the outer layers of fabrics which have been baled with iron bands and exposed to the weather. Another case is rust falling from rusty beams and as condensate from rusty pipes overhead. 

Casein was versatile in that it could take any colour, or could be moulded in a combination of colours, which made it a very attractive plastic. Its most common uses were as knitting needles and fountain pen barrels. The latter often displayed a pearly lustre. Casein is still in use today for button manufacture. It was also made into brightly coloured jewellery, such as linked bangles. It made a good imitation for ivory as it has a very similar fluorescence under ultraviolet light - the only plastic to display this. 

A large knitting needle lends itself to stabbing quite well, if you buy a steel one instead of plastic or aluminum. 

Porcelain spoon, 100-mL beaker, gas burner, knitting needle, metal support about 50 X 50 cm, large watchglass, safety glasses, protective gloves. 

The pans are of aluminum or nickled brass. They are attached to the beam by the two knitting needles (FF). These needles are soldered to the bearing (E) which is made of a hack-saw blade. These bearings swing in the groove previously produced in the beam. 

In the time of Homer, arrows were sometimes poisoned. The poisoned arrows of the Indians of Guiana are blown through a tube. They are made of the hard wood of the Cokarito tree, are about the size of a knitting-needle nine inches long, and mounted on a... 

She stabbed a knitting needle straight at Grant Kavanagh s face, aiming for his left eye. "Leave my girls alone, you bloody fiend," she yelled defiantly. 

Mrs Charlsworth grinned mirthlessly as the maid and the burly warrior closed on her to consummate their vengeance. She raised the pathetic knitting needle again. 

Being a knitting needle is the property of having some property that permits the transfer of yarn loops knitwise and purlwise. 

There was a time, I assert, when all knitting needles were made out of wood, and none were smaller than 3 mm in diameter. At that time, the following would have been true ... 

Being a knitting needle is the property of having the property of being a wooden cylinder, at least 3 mm in diameter and at least 3 inches long, with a tapering at one end to an almost point and a bulb at the other. 

The accidental fact that being a wooden cylinder, and so forth, is the one and only property that fulfills the functional requirements for being a knitting needle is neither here nor there when it comes to understanding the functional property. One cannot substitute into the specification of the second-order functional property a specification of any particular first-order property and still pick out the same second-order property any more than one can substitute into the locution I want a yacht a definite description of what happens to be the one and only yacht in the world and still accurately specify the content of my desire. 

As the name implies, yarns run horizontally across the width of the fabric. The knitting needles form the loops in horizontal courses, with one loop built on top of the other, and are generally made from a single yarn. Weft knits can be made flat on a flat bed machine, or tubular on a circular knitting machine. Weft knits are basic loop structures and can be stretched in both directions (Figure 21.16).
