Are you interested in learning the art of knitting? This unique skill dates all the way back to the 5th century CE, with some knitted artifacts found in Egypt suggesting that knitting has been a popular way of making clothing for a long time. Knitting is a process wherein a series of loops of yarn are continuously interlinked or knotted together to create a finished product. Knitting is a unique craft because it is accessible to almost anyone, requiring very few supplies to get started. Additionally, the end result of knitting creates a finished product that is functional in some way, whether you wear it or use it around the house.
