Sarah was married to the very silversmith who had engraven our names on the thimble! |
The tip of the second finger curls in toward the ball of the thumb until it is under the mouth of the thimble. |
Then she would don a thimble, put a dint in the cookie, and fill it with jam. |
Of course since I was stitching after so long I drew blood and then I realized that I had forgotten all about the thimble once again. |
Mary was sitting on the bed, tapping her foot and humming a tune as she set her needles, thimble, and thread into a sack. |
I used a large thimble for the flap cord part, nylon cord for the line, and ended up just tying the cord around the side wire with a slip knot. |
