Knitting is a functional art form that uses a variety of stitches to create something out of a single strand of yarn. While knitting was once considered to be an old-fashioned or maternal hobby (i.e. grandmothers knitting sweaters or expectant mothers knitting booties), there has recently been a renaissance.
Twenty- and thirty-somethings are taking up knitting in large numbers, and are not content to just knit tea cozies. Scarves, sweaters, hats, tops, and other accessories inspired by popular designers are a common knits, as are things you normally wouldn't associate with knitting, like stuffed monsters, arm slings, and even a womb.
