"Crafting Warmth, One Stitch at a Time" ~ KnitEssentials
Knitting is a method for production of textile fabrics by
interlacing yarn loops with loops of the same or other yarns. It is used
to create many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand or by
machine. Knitting creates stitches: loops of yarn in a row, either flat or
in the round (tubular).
There are usually many active stitches on the knitting needle at one time.
Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of connected loops
that intermesh with the next and previous rows. As each row is
formed, each newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from
the prior row and placed on the gaining needle so that the loops from the
prior row can be pulled off the other needle without unraveling.
