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 1/2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -
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?

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.

She said, sailors sitting around with nothing to do, with rope, and in an area with an abundance of sheep. That’s her personal theory about how knitting developed.
