Song 8: Anthem to Knitting (1:15:15 or 75:15)[edit]
Let me teach you how to pull the end of the yarn.
First, you have to pull the thread from inside.
You put your fingers inside the yarn ball, search for the thread's end and pull.
And this is how, you managed to the thread's end is out of the ball.
The right way of holding the thread is by passing it from back to front in between your middle finger and ring finger.
In between your thumb and your index finger you hold the needle and with your index finger you tense the thread.
And this is how, you managed to hold the thread in your fingers.
The person holding the crochet needle, holds it softly between the thumb and index fingers
And once it's held softly between the thumb and index finger, the middle finger joins them
Knitting is so meaningful,
from a single thread several lives can be born.
Knitting is so precious,
from a crotchet needle, an anthem to small lives can be knitted.
That time I made a bear, I used a ball for its head, (*)
and also I needed two 10 mm. buttons for its eyes and embroidered its mouth (*)
But this time, the buttons for the eyes are two of 8 mm, and then one of 4 mm,(*)
you must not forget to sew them and then put cotton inside the body, all right?(*)
Knitting is so sinful,
once I meet a little bear or bee, I can't let them go.
Knitting is so amazing,
and no matter what you may say to me
I simply can't stop.
(*) All of these lines are different in the live version, the original song went:
Make no mistake, depending on the type of pattern, it can take several days
If you need to knit a long item, you'll need a No. 2 needle
If it's a squared openwork, then you need either a No. 1 or 2.
If you're knitting a NET, then you'll need a No.1
