      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”.

      In terms of myths this one is pretty tame I guess, but this kind of thing is the exact shit I hate because it is so easily fact checked, been debunked a million times, easily googleable, and the origin of these “symbolic stitches” can be traced to one man.

      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.

      Now she said “thesis” so maybe this is for undergrad but I just...it’s so easily googled. It’s on the Wikipedia page.

      Me too. Her thesis is on the “history of knitting” and her argument is that knitting was developed by fishermen because they had time to kill on boats? I should tag in @NeolithicSheep on this one. I didn’t want to just completely rag on this person but it seems her research 1/

      Had a lot of problems. She said that the earliest examples of knitting being from Egypt may just be a case for the preservation environment of the desert. But does she not get that pastoral cultures exist?

      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.
