Abstract
Knitting and knitting groups have been gaining popularity throughout the world over the last two decades. They have been used as a setting for data collection for various projects to study the benefits of knitting, and the many uses of knitting have been well documented throughout history. But the hospitable side of knitting is an area that has been under-researched, even though there is increased scholarly attention on hospitable practices with a view to improving well-being and the social fabric of communities. This conceptual article will attempt to fill this gap, taking a critical look at the hospitableness of knitting.Description
