Description

Hello! In this weeks episode, as a companion to last weeks episode, we are going to be taking a look at the history of knitting. As one of the oldest fiber arts we have, knitting has a rich history of being used for necessity and as a fun past time. Today's epsiode will explore how knitting has evolved from the first iterations we have from the 10th century to modern day.

Sources for today's episode include the youtube video History of Knitting: 10th century to modern times hosted by the Gail Borden Public Library featuring Knitting Historian Liz Kristan.
