You may be thinking of French knitting, which is done on a spool with pegs driven into the top.
cable knitting, tube knitting, four needle knitting, knitting in the round, and a straight knit
Knitting has no weft. That sounds like a weaving thing, to me.
Yes, knitting teachers exist, and informally, you can probably find one in every yarn store on earth..
Knitting is formed in one or a combination of two basic forms: flat or in the round. Flat knitting is typically done on straight needles and circular knitting is typically done on circular needles or double point needles. When people think of knitting in the round, typically they mean knitting a tube shape, such as a sock or hat. But it is also possible to knit actual circles instead of tubes, such as when one makes circular shawls, table cloths, or doilies. Whether knitting a tube or a flat circle, the technique is the same. The difference is that in tube knitting few if any increases or decreases are made and in knitting a flat circle increases must be made such that as the radius of the circle doubles the number of stitches on the needle also double. Mathematically, it looks like this: c = 2 * pi * r, where c is the circumference and r is the radius. The ratio of the circumference to the radius must always remain 2 * pi or the piece will not remain flat.
a tube thing a tube thing
Yes.
"No,Yiu Tube is not the same thing as You Tube. Yiu Tube does not appear to have any merit at all and appears only to be a an erroneous spelling of the ever popular You Tube."
the right side of the piece, i.e. the side that is meant to be seen. in circular knitting such as on a sock the RS is the outside of the tube, which faces you at all times anyway. on a scarf, the RS is the side that shows the pattern rather than its reverse.
An Observation Tube and an Infared Microscope do the same thing.
This could be standing in a depressed area while knitting using a round knitting needle.
Whether you call them Knitting Nancys, Bizzy Lizzys, knitting mushrooms, knitting spools, corkers, peg knitters, knitting nobbys (or knitting noddys) or knitting knobbys, these knitting devices all owe their existence to the medieval lucet. The lucet is a two pronged fork with a hole in the handle.
No, knitting is a sport.
