1433. Do you then bring in with you all that you have knitted during the season?-Yes.
1434. How much will you bring?-It is not much; perhaps two or three shawls. I have had as high as five shawls when I came down. We have household work to attend to, and we cannot knit so fast as they do here in Lerwick.
1435. It is just part of your time that you can give?-Yes.
1436. Have you come down just now for the purpose of selling the articles you have knitted?-Yes.
1437. How many shawls did you bring with you this year?-Two.
1438. That is less than usual?-Yes.
1439. How do you get paid for your shawls?-I get goods out of the shop.
1440. Does the merchant fix the price 'for the shawl' when you take it in?-Yes.
1441. How much did you get for the two you brought down this time?-16s. for one, and 17s. for the other; and I had one belonging to another person that I got 19s. for.
1442. Who was the merchant that you sold them to?-Mr. Sinclair.
