Part of the draw of knitting is that you can make almost anything once you learn. It's not hard to learn. There are only two stitches involved in knitting and the only tools that you really need are two sticks and some string. Once you learn, you can make blankets, rugs, headbands, sweaters, bags or socks. And these items can last for years. But there's the reality that you can make something from a single length of yarn that takes hours to create and, if you want, you could unravel an item just by untying a single knot.
It's the dual nature of knitting, complex and simple, sturdy and ephemeral, that makes it so fascinating and drives me to find out more about what other knitters make, how they make it, as well as the history of how knitting was created, used, and sustained by our ancestors.
