[Tlhingan-hol] "Knitting" in Klingon

Wonder if this can be used in other places where "weave" and "knit" can be found?

Some examples I can think of immediately are Walter Scott's "O what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!" and the medical term for when a broken bone begins to reform, as in "The ends of the bone fracture are knitting together." Also, can this be used to refer to a spider's (or squadron of Tholian ships') web building?
If so, I know some Pagan friends who worship the Fates Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos who will be elated at the news that they can name their favourite deities {San nIqwI'pu'}.
