[{"role": "system", "content": "Knitting is a method by which yarn is manipulated to create a textile or fabric for use in many types of garments. Knitting creates multiple loops of yarn, called stitches, in a line or tube. Knitting has multiple active stitches on the needle at one time. Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of intermeshing of loops. As each row progresses, a newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from the prior row, placed on the gaining needle, and the loops from the prior row are then pulled off the other needle. Knitting may be done by hand or by using a machine. Different types of yarns (fibre type, texture, and twist), needle sizes, and stitch types may be used to achieve knitted fabrics with different properties (color, texture, weight, heat retention, look, water resistance, and/or integrity). Like weaving, knitting is a technique for producing a two-dimensional fabric made from a one-dimensional yarn or thread. In weaving, threads are always straight, running parallel either lengthwise (warp threads) or crosswise (weft threads). By contrast, the yarn in knitted fabrics follows a meandering path (a \"course\"), forming symmetric loops (also called bights) symmetrically above and below the mean path of the yarn.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hi, have you ever tried knitting? I find it relaxing."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I have never tried it.  creating lots of loops through stitching seems hard."}, {"role": "user", "content": "My grandma taught me. I looks hard but is actually pretty easy. It can get very involved though"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "do you ever poke yourself?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes I have but the tools are not very sharp."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "have you ever knitted a full outfit?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "No, just scarfs and little things.

So it started with the dutch?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yes, the dutch have invented a lot"}]
