“Oh, did she get off?” asked Wooley Ball.
“Yes; she’s off,” said Crow Shay. “She’s off—and she’s awful!”
“Oh, for shame!” cried Mary Frances.
“I meant to teach you the stitches myself,” muttered Crow Shay. “That’s why I said she was awful.”
“You must not speak in that way of any of my friends,” said Mary Frances. “Aunt Maria is very good to me. She even told me how to make a necklace for my doll.”
“Is that all she told you how to make for your doll?” asked the Yarn Baby, sitting up suddenly.
“Why, yes; you see I do not know how to make many different kinds of stitches yet,” said Mary Frances.
“She knows how to make chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet and double crochet,” said Crow Shay.
“Well, if you know that much,” went on the Yarn Baby, “we can teach you how to make lots of things for your doll, if you will just follow our directions.”
