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/
Yeah. The sort of pop history on Aran knitting is one thing that gets around but idk how you can research this without finding out that stuff is nonsense. She asked me for sources and I was like...there are so many? I didn’t even get into the general knitting hist stuff.

It sounds like she wrote something without literally any sources because everything I've ever read about knitting contradicts her and I don't understand lol

She said she had sources that backed up her evidence. She did say the sailor stuff was her own theory though. But the Aran stuff in particular is weird because even the Wikipedia page notes this stuff, and I think it has sources too.
