What is the technique
Knitting
This method uses a thread or yarn to create a fabric. A number of rows of loops, called stitches are continued when a new loop is pulled through an existing loop. The active stitches are held on a needle until another loop can be passed through them. After several rows, a fabric of interlocked stitches is created. There are many knitting styles and different yarn, yarn texture or needle size creates different outcomes.

How to achieve the technique
We watched a video and suffered. First on one needle we created the base stitched of about 10-12 loops (depends on your preference). Using the other needle, we interlocked those loops with yarn and the active stitches are transferred to that needle. This process continues until you are satisfied with the length then you can end the knitting by another interlocking process.

Own personal reflections
Although knitting was quite stressful when trying to figure out the loops and techniques, after multiple tries and getting the hang of it, it was a very routine and relaxing technique. I’m quite happy to learn how to knit because I love knitwear and now hopefully I can knit something. Knitting is really versatile as essentially you’re making a fabric but you can do anything you want with the fabric as seen with the different applications.
