knit and crochet today

Knitting is the art of turning threads int Now it's a fun, creative hobby for anyone.

However, the best part of that, is when a friend asks you where you bought your pretty little purse, or new scarf, you can say, "I knitted it myself. When the needle passes in the cam shell path, the knitting is made. Various closures for the garments, such as frogs and buttons can be added; usually buttonholes are knitted into the garment, rather than cut.

I love the new kids needles that are about 7 inches long. A sequence of stitches in which each stitch suspended from the next is called a wale. Patterns and pictures can be created in knitted fabrics by using knit and purl stitches as "pixels"; however, such pixels are usually rectangular, rather than square, depending on the gauge of the knitting.

Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up.
