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.
