The needle slips into the stitch on the other needle, yarn loops around it and is pulled through to make a new stitch. The old stitch drops from the needle and the next stitch is ready behind it.
In, loop, pull through, drop.
In, loop, pull through, drop.
In, loop, pull through, drop.
Stitch by stitch, row by row, yarn becomes a hat, a scarf, socks, mittens, or a sweater. From simple processes, complex patterns arise.
Like words into a novel.
Like notes to a symphony.
Like atoms into molecules.
Knitters, crocheters, nålebinders, and weavers take the straight line, turn it upon itself and make all things possible.
