In fact, if you look around, you'll probably notice some unusual applications of knitted and crocheted yarn, such as yarn-covered bicycles, art installations, and even yarn "graffiti". There are also visual artists who have taken knitting and crocheting to much greater heights and others who see the act of knitting as performance art.

Whatever your reason for doing it, knitting and/or crocheting on your own can be daunting. Just following the patterns can take a certain level of patience when you're unfamiliar with the process. For help, look no further than the , located just a block from Broadway near Union Square.
