[Tlhingan-hol] "Knitting" in Klingon

Nope.  *{vaDmuv} = "be flexible + join"

I might have said something like *{SIrghmey muv/bagh} "join/tie strings (threads)".  (A {muvwI'} is a suture, from {tuj muvwI'} "thermo-suture".  {bagh} has never been used in canon.)

Knitting needles though could well be called {(muvmeH/baghmeH) naQHommey} "(joining/tying) sticks", like those used to strike percussion instruments (cf. KGT 74-75).
