As we know, all knitted fabrics are made using two basic stitches, knit and purl. Knitting parties also are becoming popular in small and large communities around the U.
In weaving, the threads are always straight, running parallel either lengthwise (warp threads) or crosswise (weft threads). 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. Since a typical piece of knitted fabric may have hundreds of wales, warp knitting is typically done by machine, whereas weft knitting is done by both hand and machine.
Laces are provided from Iceland and Estonia. One can make ankle socks, knee socks, men's and ladies, kid's socks in the machine. In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn.
You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby. Keep looking around this site for lots of tips, patterns, resources and ideas.
