Knitting is the art of turning threads int Sock-knitting machines are used to make socks.
There are different patterns and ways to knit socks, using the machine. This is my version of instructions for the two basic knitting stitches but I have found that it is hard to use a few written instructions. For this reason, knitting was initially developed for garments that must be elastic or stretch in response to the wearer's motions, such as socks and hosiery.
The two stitches are related in that a knit stitch seen from one side of the fabric appears as a purl stitch on the other side. The dyeing of yarns is a complex art. For those of us who knit, there is almost nothing more relaxing than watching a row of neat, organized stitches line up on your knitting needles.
Thicker yarns generally require thicker knitting needles, whereas thinner yarns may be knit with thick or thin needles. When knitting, some knitters enclose their balls in jars to keep them clean and untangled with other yarns; the free yarn passes through a small hole in the jar-lid.
So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting. You also will usually want to stick with chunky yarns (this is a good use for "novelty" yarns, which have lots of texture and are usually thick but also light and fluffy), since they knit up quickly so you can make more presents.
