Knitting as an art and a craft was kept alive only as a hobby In very simple cases, knitting can be done without tools, using only the fingers to do these tasks; however, knitting is usually carried out using tools such as knitting needles, knitting machines or rigid frames.
Knitting may be hand made or machine made. The key to knitting for gifts is to keep things simple, use quality materials, and, if you want to knit several gifts, consider using one pattern multiple times. The hand dyed yarns are available in an extensive colour range and those in natural fibres consist of Merion wool', Cashmere', Cotton', Mohair' or Alpaca' in addition to Jo Sharp' pure wool and Heirloom Alpaca'.
Another problem is that too much knitting may lead to hand and wrist troubles; for this, special stress-relieving gloves are available. If they are not secured, the loops of a knitted course will come undone when their yarn is pulled; this is known as ripping out or unravelling knitting. Cable needles are a special case of dpns, although they usually are not straight, but dimpled in the middle.
So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting. Take your time and understand the information on this site and you will be able to knit anything you want.
