When some people think of knitting they think of an old women, sat on a rocking chair, knitting away. But this is no longer the case, knitting is making a comeback.

From bow ties to teddy bears, you can buy knitting patterns for almost anything now-a-days. And once your tired of your creation, you can UN-thread it all and make something new! Meaning there is no need to throw away the yarn.
