Knitting is no longer only for grandmothers or just any mothers. Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral.
In fact what type of knitting yarn to use is one of the most important decisions a craftsperson has to make. A wale can split into two or more wales using increases, most commonly involving a yarn over. In knitting you are often counting your stitches and focusing on nothing more than the stitches being created and the count itself.
If the former, the stitch is denoted as a knit stitch; if the latter, as a purl stitch. The thickness of the yarn may vary along its length; a slub is a much thicker section in which a mass of fibers is incorporated into the yarn. A sequence of stitches in which each stitch suspended from the next is called a wale.
Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up. We hope you found the information here inspiring, please have a look around this site for more great info.
