Melanie, scarf labels are often removed because depending on how you wear it, it might show. I must confess to removing them myself, but only on modern ones. One of the scarves I bought during my recent trip to Portobello Road has an old fashioned name tag hand stitched on one end - it reads "Furniss" in an Art Deco font. The scarf has roses and looks like it's '50s. I often wear it to deliberately show the tag that Miss or Mrs Furniss sewed on.
I love the knitting clock! Might have to share that on FB because I know some knitters who will love it. I'm sure it can knit faster but it's an art piece, to measure the passing of time. It would be great to knit stockings (if your legs were a similar diameter all the way up).
