So this month of October usually engenders a slough of “Celtic” folklore nonsense, and this isn’t really October related but on a fb group I saw someone talk about the different meanings of cable stitches in Aran sweaters and I was like “NO STOP”.

And the Aran sweater market (both generally speaking and the actual website/store) probably makes bank off of “family patterns” and whatnot.

Oh man this person saying this stuff is writing or has written her thesis on this? And she said that her research pointed towards the symbolism of the stitches and that the patterns are family based. Oh man.

Guys this stuff is...googleable. Like front page stuff. Like I don’t want to dunk on this person but I don’t understand how her research just somehow bypassed all this stuff.
