KOEL POSTCARDS
Selvedge.
The selvedge is the self-finished edge of woven fabric, born when the weft thread turns back on itself and says, that's enough, I've got this.
Waulking.
Waulking is the ancient practice of finishing handwoven wool by soaking it, then pounding and kneading it until the fibers lock together and the cloth becomes something it wasn't before.
Ultracrepidarian.
You are mid-row, counting under your breath, and they lean over. Have you tried a different needle size?
Steek.
A steek is a column of extra stitches added to a piece of stranded colorwork knitting specifically so you can cut it open later.
Felting's more controlled cousin.
The stitches disappeared. Something better remained. Felting's more controlled cousin explained.
Brabble
It starts innocently. Someone mentions they knit Continental. Someone else sets down their needles.
