Knitting
Knitting — patient loops building warmth row by row — often touches a quiet, peaceful home and the steady making of something whole. The dream may ask where calm, loving domestic order is being woven for you, what you're patiently bringing into being thread by thread, and whether a settled contentment is taking shape around you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for knitting, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a woman to dream of knitting, denotes that she will possess a quiet and peaceful home, where a loving companion and dutiful children delight to give pleasure.
For a man to be in a kniting-mill, indicates thrift and a solid rise in prospects.
For a young woman to dream of knitting, is an omen of a hasty but propitious marriage.
For a young woman to dream that she works in a knitting-mill, denotes that she will have a worthy and loyal lover. To see the mill in which she works dilapidated, she will meet with reverses in fortune and love.
