Now it's a fun, creative hobby for anyone. Knitting needles in a variety of sizes (US 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 from the bottom).
It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist. All knitting instructions use basically two stitches, the knit stitch and the purl stitch. Hem top should be knitted by taking a stitch from the first row, and should be hanged on the needle.
The thread used in weaving is usually much finer than the yarn used in knitting, which can make the knitted fabric bulkier and have less drape than a woven fabric. After all, it is the experience of knitting that we are seeking, more so than the finished-object. First you have to take the yarn in front of the needle, then insert right hand needle in first stitch on left hand needle.
The resilience and propensity to (un)twist are general properties that affect the ease of hand-knitting. If the fibers are first aligned by combing them, the yarn is smoother and called a worsted; by contrast, if the fibers are carded but not combed, the yarn is fuzzier and called woolen-spun.
While knitting patterns can offer suggestions for design and color ideas, it is ultimately up to the artist to decide what the final product what look like. Knit it like you would knit any stitch.
