Knitting
Knitting is a craft by which
thread or yarn may be turned into
cloth. Similar to
crochet, knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. Knitting differs from crochet in that multiple stitches are 'active', or in use, at the same time, and crochet uses a single tool, a
crochet hook, instead of a minimum of two
knitting needles. The active stitches are held on a needle until another loop can be passed through them with a second needle.
