Knitting parties also are becoming popular in small and large communities around the U. Like weaving, knitting is a technique for producing a two-dimensional fabric from a one-dimensional yarn or thread.
It has slowed somewhat, but its enduring nature is a testament to both the relaxation it bestows on the practitioner, and the joy of craftsmanship. As we know by lace knitting we can interlace Shawls. Knitters have developed methods for giving the illusion of a circular wale, such as appear in Celtic knots, but these are inexact approximations.
It is important to know the size of your knitting needles because their size is related to the size of your stitches and, implicitly, to the appearance of the finished work. The two stitches are related in that a knit stitch seen from one side of the fabric appears as a purl stitch on the other side. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters.
To do a yarn-over after a knit stitch, just bring your yarn across your work from the back to the front. There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs.
