   A needle gauge makes it possible to determine the size of a knitting needle. Some may also be used to gauge the size of crochet hooks.

   The term "gauge" is used in knitting to describe the fineness size of knitting machines. It is used in both hand knitting and machine knitting.

9. Pick up stitches (knitting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_up_stitches_(knitting)

   Picking up stitches uses the same action as regular knitting, save that the loop through which the new stitch passes is not "live"; that is, it will not run if dropped from the needle. Some knitters prefer to pick up all the loops onto the left needle at once, and then knit across in a relatively normal fashion; others pick up each new stitch ...
