      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?

      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.

      Lol YEP. Also, her impression of fishermen is that they do nothing. Um.

      I mean there’s having a very general thesis because it’s an undergrad one (I assume, she never clarified) but this stuff is like the first thing you’d find presumably when doing research.

      I just.... There's a very solid book on the history of knitting and it's the first thing that comes up on GOOGLE.

      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.
