When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it. Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft!
Knitting can be fun, especially if you are good with your hands and enjoy doing similar activities such as sewing, arts, crafts, and more. This is used to great effect in lace knitting, which consists of making patterns and pictures using such holes, rather than with the stitches themselves. In the simplest knitted fabrics, all of the stitches are knit or purl; these fabrics are denoted as stockinette and reverse stockinette, respectively.
Although the new stitch is itself unsecured ("active"), it secures the stitch(es) suspended from it. The fibers making up a yarn may be continuous filament fibers such as silk and many synthetics, or they may be staples (fibers of an average length, typically a few inches); naturally filament fibers are sometimes cut up into staples before spinning. Knitted garments became fashionable for the wealthy upper class, and silk gloves and stockings were highly prized.
Exercise is great, yet, doing something for your soul, is just as important. Good luck with your knitting.
