With its origins in the production of necessary pieces of clothing for protection against the elements, nowadays, knitting is more often a hobby than it is a necessity.
Knitting is enjoying a new surge in popularity in recent days. Younger people are taking up knitting, and getting together, organising knitting circles to better their technique, and doing a bit of socialising while they’re at it.
Yarn bombing is the latest ‘knitting craze’, utilising knitting as a type of graffiti or street art to decorate objects with colourful displays of woollen wonder. Beginning as early as 2004, yarn bombing has grown in popularity and has spread through the world with a book The Art of Crochet and Knit Graffiti being published in late 2009.
For those that are late to hop on the knitting bandwagon, it’s not too late – knitting is a great, productive to spend your time creatively, and despite what you might think, is actually very easy to pick up.
