Everything needs a border.

Merchandise at commercial knitting sites comes and goes. You may still be able to buy either the knitted pieces shown, or instructions for knitting something similar.)
Borders are the most visible way people set boundaries. Crossing them without permission is disrespectful. Such disrespect provokes angry defenses. Never trust anyone who says it's all right to cross borders without an invitation.

All things in nature have borders we can see,
And so must all things knitted. Some have tried
To border knits with weaving. This would be
Frowned on today. The fame and pride
Of knitting's thought to call for knitted borders.
Even crocheting edges on what's knitted
Seems like performing operas on recorders.
To border knitting, only knitting's fitted.
