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”.

Naalbinding, I think? The early Egyptian textiles she's referring to.

Yeah, the earliest knitting we know of is medieval. Although the oldest ones are from Egypt, just from the 11th c AD.

I don't know if I want to ask where she thinks knitting was first developed. Or if she's noticed that there are examples of preserved textiles from *wherever that is* and they're not knitted until later

Oh she thinks it’s fishermen. Because they had rope and were close to sheep. Idk.
