An extremely dangerous and foolhardy exercise, goblin knitting is
undertaken with only one knitting needle - but one that is barbed
and has two razor-sharp edges to it. It takes two goblins to knit
a scarf or a sweater and demands a remarkable degree of coordination
and cooperation, which is, quite honestly, totally alien to the
goblin nature. Hence the knitting usually breaks down into a violent
argument, and blood flows within a matter of one or two stitches. In
fact, nowadays the traditional preliminaries of carding and skeining
the wool, discussing the knitting pattern and choosing a pretty colour,
are usually dispensed with, and the knitters get straight down to the
business of hacking each other to pieces.
