Knit is a high-traffic, chatty mailing list for people interested in knitting. At times posts stray off-topic, but this is an accepted, and in fact, welcomed aspect of the list. Knit functions as an international knitting circle, with posts concerning knitting projects; patterns; washing knits; dyeing and overdyeing; spinning; searches for specific materials; sources of supplies for knitters, and books, magazines, journals and other on-line sites concerning the craft.
