Knit Witchery
Knitting magick, or knit witchery as I like to call it, is when a witch casts a spell through knitting. It's similar to knot magick in that you focus your intent into it as you work, perhaps chanting as you go along though it's not absolutely necessary. You could also try focusing your intent and then blessing/charging the finished item as well to really seal the spell, but again, it's not necessary. The spell is then activated when the item is worn, hung up in an area you wish to affect, or even buried. To undo the spell, simply unravel the item and/or burn it.
Knitting magick is very versatile, utilizing color correspondences in the color of the yarn you choose, cord magick in the way the stitches are knitted, and even, number magick in the number of rows and/or stitches you use.
You could make an afghan for protection, a scarf to help you attract a new love, or a wristband to help you with fertility. You could even knit your own mojo bag, or use the bag to hold your tarot cards.
There's no limit to what you can do using this branch of magick; the only limit is your skill level and imagination. So, go crazy, and get stitchin', witches! ;)
