i love to knit and crochet.
[{"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": "I enjoy knitting sometimes."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Knitting with yarn to make garments isnt something i care for"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I have made blankets to donate to a foster kids program and to the neonatal intensive care unit at the hospital."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Thats nice, knitting requires a lot of time with all the stitches and needle work so that mustve taken a while"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes, that's why I am not able to do it very often.
