I love ro knot string and make sweaters and afghans.  Have you ever tried knitting?
No but I'd like to.
I do hand knitting using two straight needles to produce scarves or afghans by hand.
What's the difference between those?
Well, i stitch one side from right to left. Then i turn it over and purl it from right to left. Stitch one, purl 2. Get it?  
Cool, how long have you been doing it?
Since i was a little girl.  I am a man now, so it is embarrassing to do it in public.  Knitted fabris are so basic a clothing item, that some types of knitting have worked their way into the lexicon, such as yarn.
What is your favorite fabric to knit with?
Well, i sometimes like to do crochet, where you use a small crocheting hook to interlock loops of metal, wood, or plastic.
Nice! What is your most impressive piece?
Oh, i knitted a car cover for my grandson's tractor trailer.  That took awhile. The main difference between hand knitting and crochet is that knitting keep a lot of loops of yarn open at the same time where crochet finishes one loop before moving on to the next. Sheesh that was long one!
