Knitters were first believed to have begun their craft in the first few centuries AD. 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.
In lace knitting, the pattern is formed by making small, stable holes in the fabric, generally with yarn overs. There is also the cooperative aspect to knitting. William Lee, who invented the first knitting machine in 1589, also made a knitting frame which was so effective that few improvements were needed for 250 years.
Good quality yarns at lower cost include Aran', Double Knit', four ply, three ply as well as two ply. The second type of knitting needles are straight, double-pointed knitting needles (also called "dpns"). Other tools are used to prepare specific ornaments include the pompom tree for making pompoms conveniently.
