I teach yoga. Knitting is so like yoga. In casting on, you create the foundation for the garment, just as you create a standing pose starting with the placement of your feet. If the foundation is unstable, the garment or pose will fall apart. As you knit, each stitch is connected to the previous stitch, the next stitch, the next row; and they are dependent on that connectedness. As you build your
