Meanwhile, elsewhere on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_knitting >Earlier pieces having a knitted or crocheted appearance have been shown to be made with other techniques, such as Nålebinding, a technique of making fabric by creating multiple loops with a single needle and thread, much like sewing.[4] Some artefacts have a structure so similar to knitting, for example, 3rd-5th century CE Romano-Egyptian toe-socks, that it is thought the "Coptic stitch" of nalbinding is the forerunner to knitting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nålebinding The lack of signs of wear is a bigger problem for this hypothesis IMHO |
