knitting
word · lemma: knit
Definition
Knitting is making fabric by interlocking yarn with two needles, often to create clothes, scarves, or blankets.
Usage & Nuances
'Knitting' is almost always done with needles and yarn (never with a crochet hook). It can be a hobby, art, or craft, and is generally associated with making things by hand. People might say 'I'm knitting a sweater' or 'knitting for relaxation'. Don't confuse with 'sewing' (joining fabric), 'crochet' (different tool), or 'weaving'.
