  • Knitting is a method by which thread or yarn is turned into cloth or other fine crafts. Knitted fabric consists of consecutive rows of loops, called stitches. As each row progresses, 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. This process eventually results in a final product, often a garment. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. There exist numerous styles and methods of hand knitting.

  • An almost forgotten pastime that threatens to undergo a revival when whiffers go green with envy and nearly quit the hobby over a fellow whiffer's most excellent offering. Often occurs shortly after the posting of something declared Baztastic.
  • Knitting was a primitive, old fashioned way of making clothes. Vi Moradi used hippoglace yarn to knit a sweater for her older brother, Baako.
  • Knitting is a method by which thread or yarn is turned into cloth or other fine crafts. Knitted fabric consists of consecutive rows of loops, called stitches. As each row progresses, 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. This process eventually results in a final product, often a garment. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. There exist numerous styles and methods of hand knitting. Different yarns and knitting needles may be used to achieve different end products by giving the final piece a different colour, texture, weight, and/or integrity. Using needles of varying shape and thickness as well as different varieties of yarn can also change the effect. Gromit likes knitting. He was knitting at the start of A Close Shave. He was also knitting after a walk with the Techno Trousers in The Wrong Trousers.
  • Despite the fact that Sooty and Sweep are two of the naughtiest boys she knows, Soo has made presents for them: a new jumper each which she has knitted herself. However the new items of knit-wear are too big for Sooty and Sweep to use, so they decide to try and shrink them as that is what wool is famous for. First they try shrinking the woolies in bath water, to no avail. Next they try in the washing machine, but this does not work either. Then they use the tumbledrier, but now the jumpers have shrink to the sizes of gloves. Feeling intimidated by Sooty and Sweep, Soo shows her ruining needle work to Matthew, but he just laughs too. Annoyed, Soo states that Matthew knows nothing about knitting. This is of course a gross understatement; Matthew has recently purchased a knitting machine, so that he can make some more money out his very own homemade knitted scarves. Soo and Sweep ask if they can have a go on the machine, but Matthew say they can only use it if they can supply their own wool. So while Matthew is busy make a ball of wool into an extra long scarf, Sooty and Sweep smart collecting up some of their own wool by making Matthew's extra long scarf into a ball of wool. Then while Matthew takes a tea break, Sooty and Sweep take their chance to have a go on the knitting machine. When Matthew finds out that Sooty and Sweep have destroyed his extra long scarf to make their shody jumpers with too many arm holes and no head holes, he chases after them. Sooty and Sweep are not hard to find as they have left a trail of wool behind them, leading to where they are and Matthew finds them hiding in a box of junk in the attic. To show they are sorry for what they have done, Sweep shows Matthew an old book with a £50 note he had forgotten he had left inside it. Instantly Sooty and Sweep are forgiven and Mattew uses the £50 to buy woolly clothes them and Soo. But Matthew is not the odd one out, as Soo has knitted him a jumper too with her, Sooty and Sweep having a picnic on the front of it. Sooty, Sweep and Soo then bring this episode to end with a knitted fashion show.

With the release of the new extreme sports knitting packs people have all being trying to find the ultimate button and thread combination. The best so far was the standard black or white thread and a black and white checkered button. The panel of judges is still making up its mind about this, however.
