Knitters were first believed to have begun their craft in the first few centuries AD. Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other.
Records show that the first sweaters were knit in the 17th century; before that smaller pieces and undergarments were knit. It is not done like knitting on needles, it is done on your fingers. The most basic type of knitting is called the knit stitch.
If the former, the stitch is denoted as a knit stitch; if the latter, as a purl stitch. Having a smoother surface, metal needles tend to produce faster knitting but stitches are more likely to slide off by accident. But it is all part of the process, and most knitters, no matter how goal-oriented in their daily lives, face this part of the knitting experience with cool composure and aplomb.
