"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?"
"I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands."
After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?"
"This, too, is magic."
@MicroSFF Love this

@MicroSFF okay but FR, knitting and textile work in general is magic. arguably the most important technology after fire and language and possibly even before sharp stone. to say that our civilisation is built on fabric is an understatement, because even pre-civilisation societies were built on fabric.
knitting is actual magic.

Reminds me of Ify Nwadiwe on Very Important People https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Important_People_(2023_TV_series)
It's a show where comedians are given a costume and have to improvise a talk show interview in character
His costume was an alien and he keeps describing mundane things as alien technology

@Thebratdragon Yes, indeed. I am a practitioner of that magic art. (Saw the post earlier, faved & boosted!)
We knitting witches and wizards, you know: we wave our wands, utter arcane incantations, and lo! .... a sweater.
(Actually, though I do have a sweater on the needles, it's a long-term project; otherwise, I'm working on 2 pairs of socks, a pair of fingerless mitts, and a double-walled hat. I've just ordered some more needles for next weekend's project, which is a cowl.)
