「編み」(ami) is a Japanese term that means "knitting" or "weaving." It refers to the process of creating fabric or textiles by interlocking loops of yarn or thread using needles or a loom. This craft has a long history in Japan and is often associated with traditional clothing and accessories. In addition to its practical uses, 編み is also a popular hobby for many people. It allows for creativity and self-expression, as individuals can design their own patterns and choose colors. Various techniques, such as かぎ針編み (kagibari ami, crochet) and 棒針編み (bōbari ami, needle knitting), are commonly used in this art form.
