I love the expressions on their faces, the patience in the woman's and the concentration and fascination in the young girl's. And I love it that all these many years later I am an descendant of those lessons.

A toe up sock? I thought they were a modern invention. Perhaps rather an "unvention" ala Elizabeth Zimmerman. And it looks like the bind-off has always been the hard part.
Or, do you think that the painter just wanted to show what the project was? Sometimes, painters have no understanding of knitting technique and so they just sort of guess.
