CROCHET
Crochet is the art of textile formation using a hook to form stitches. In crochet, there is generally only one active point in the work at any given time, that is, where the current stitch is being worked. By contrast, in knitting, all stitches are “active” until they are bound off.

KNITTING
Knitting is a method of fabric formation which, in hand crafts, uses a pair of needles to form a row of multiple loops which are then worked back and forth. The loops are held on the needles as they are worked one by one. If a loop is dropped the stitch will unravel.

LACEMAKING
Bobbin lace is a method of lacemaking which uses bobbins to weave threads together in a given pattern. Pins are used to hold the stitches as they are formed. The number of bobbins required depends on the pattern being worked.

SPINNING
Spinning is the process of adding twist to fiber in order to form yarn. The twist is what holds the fibers together to form a continuous length of yarn. The fiber can be of natural origin (e.g., wool) or synthetic (man-made). Yarn is used to form fabrics for a multitude of purposes, including clothing.
