knitting

n. knitted work; act of joining loops of yarn or thread; pastime of knitting

v. weave by joining loops of yarn or thread; stitch together; fold; be stitched together; be united; be folded; weave (an idea)

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.
