Posted by ardanti on Dec 5, '07 10:57 PM for everyone  Crochet (IPA: krəʊ'ʃeɪ) is a process of creating fabric from yarn or thread using a crochet hook. The word is derived from the Middle French word croc or croche, meaning hook. Crocheting, similar to knitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a crochet hook is used instead of knitting needles.
Knitting is a craft by which thread or yarn may be turned into cloth. Similar to crochet, knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. Knitting differs from crochet in that multiple stitches are 'active', or in use, at the same time, and crochet uses a single tool, a crochet hook, instead of a minimum of two knitting needles. The active stitches are held on a needle until another loop can be passed through them with a second needle.
Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. By hand, there are numerous styles and methods. Some of these produce an entirely different end-product; some produce very similar results. Flat knitting, which is done on two straight needles, produces a length of cloth, while circular knitting, which is done on circular or double-pointed needles, produces a seamless tube.
Different yarns and knitting needles may be used to achieve different end products, by giving the final piece different colour, texture, weight or integrity.

berkat ratih yang mengenalkan aku sama temennya yang hobi rajut juga, jadi semangat lagi nih merajut (knit and crochet). malah aku yang dulu males knitting -gara2 harus lebih telaten, bisa diganti mesin dengan kecepatan yang sangat tinggi, dan lebih mudah dedel-, sekarang juga jadi seneng lagi. thanks esti:). malahan aku dikasih benang2 buat dieksplor. aaaahhhhh senangnya, biasanya liat2 buku rajutan ngiler liat benang tapi ga ada di pasaran indonesia, ternyata aku sekarang bisa dapetin benang2 itu!!!! ternyata benang2 yang bagus itu diproduksinya di indonesia juga, tapi karena pasarnya sedikit banget, jadi mereka ga jual di sini, tapi langsung diekspor. gapapa lah, sekarang aku tau nyari benangnya kemana. lebih senengnya lagi, karena banyak yang masok 'energi' buat ngeksplor knitting dan crochet. wah, semangat, semangat!!! mudah2an proyek workshopnya jadi ah, doain ya....
