Making fabric loops
Knitting is the craft of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn with needles.
The basic stitches—knit and purl—combine to produce everything from scarves to sweaters.
Knitting also refers to work in progress: She picked up her knitting.
Figuratively, things that knit come together or heal: The broken bone is knitting nicely.
