On top of my computer sits a wooden bobbin from a Calverton knitting frame. Sometimes when I look at it I hear in my head the refrain that the children still sing in Calverton playgrounds:

Wind the bobbin up, wind the bobbin up,
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap
Wind it back again, wind it back again
Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.
