Knitting is a centuries old way to make cloth that has made quite a comeback in recent years. It’s no longer considered a pastime for grandmothers alone. More and more people of all ages have been learning to knit, and this simple needlework craft lets people express their creativity by making items that are both functional and beautiful. Whether you prefer low maintenance, machine wash items or luxurious and posh, there’s always something new to knit.
