Everyone has a different attitude towards hand knitting. Since ancient times, trying to decorate their lives, people have sought to use the simplest materials to combine simple forms and means with unpretentious patterns, while achieving high-level craftsmanship.
Hand knitting first appeared as a simple utilitarian necessity, later becoming a real art. Hand knitting allows you to express your individuality, designed image by choosing the texture and color of yarn, its weaves, design and style of products. The knit fashion is also the decoration of our interior. You can make a lampshade or a knitted tablecloth, a napkin or a vase, and the house will become cozy and warm.
