Knitting as an art and a craft was kept alive only as a hobby Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other.
These fiber types are chemically different, corresponding to proteins, carbohydrates and synthetic polymers, respectively. Some yarns are dyed to be either variegated (changing color every few stitches in a random fashion) or self-striping (changing every few rows). Knitting is the delicate balance of holding needles and continuously feeding yarn until a pattern emerges.
For large or complex patterns, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of which stitch should be knit in an particular way; therefore, several tools have been developed to identify the number of a particular row or stitch, including circular stitch markers, hanging markers, extra yarn and counters. Your knitting yarn will be hanging in front. By using simple stitches, a person will be able to create a blanket.
The handspun yarn will probably be a little more expensive, but it will have a much softer feel and possibly be a little warmer. So why make it more difficult for yourself by choosing small size needles and tiny yarn to learn with?
Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting.
