Information:

Text by Cecil Williamson reads To make a spell stick it should be repeated a countless number of times. An easy way to do that is to knit a doll of your victim and with each stitch recite your particular hate wish. This pink lady had been doing a bit of what you fancy with another lady's old man. Oh yes, the doll did put an end to his seven year itch.
Mentioned in Doreen Valiente's description of the exhibits at Cecil Williamson's House of Spells at Polperro Transcripts from Doreen Valiente's Diaries 1959-1966, in the museum library 133.43 VAL pp.29-34.
