firrantello Lee Kushrenada DecemberFlower Sounds like a good topic to me, although it's really, really broad. Are you going to narrow it down at all? yes... I THINK I'm going to talk about the history of it, and how its changed... but I'm still playing with the idea. something along those lines to consider: look for knitting in artwork through the ages. i know somewhere (i can't remember the title or artist for the life of me) there's a picture of the virgin mary knitting on dpns. i also know there's a semi-famous photo of sojourner truth knitting. that could be an interesting thing to address in the paper. but...from what I've found...knitting was not around in Jesus' time. sweatdrop I'm finding all that I can but there is little about alot of it that is absolute. sweatdrop

firrantello Lee Kushrenada firrantello something along those lines to consider: look for knitting in artwork through the ages. i know somewhere (i can't remember the title or artist for the life of me) there's a picture of the virgin mary knitting on dpns. i also know there's a semi-famous photo of sojourner truth knitting. that could be an interesting thing to address in the paper. but...from what I've found...knitting was not around in Jesus' time. sweatdrop I'm finding all that I can but there is little about alot of it that is absolute. sweatdrop no, it wasn't regular, but i want to say there's some research about it being in egypt in the pharohs eras. also, i wasn't necessarily saying use art with it, but use the representation of it in art as a topic. i know there's stuff about knitting in the medieval period (check with the SCA, they probably have some resources about it, or they could direct you that way)
As far as I know knitting is not medieval or earlier, its why in the SCA we avoid knitted fabrics. Now naalbinding (sp) is viking, and to untrained eyes they might think its knitting, but its not. The only evidence of knitting I have seen in europe for medieval times has been later re-defined as naalbinding.
And remember, a painting of the virgin mary doesn't mean there was knitting in the time of Jesus, it means people knitted in the time it was painted it.
The earliest reference I know of to knitting has been of knitten hosebelonging to Queen Elizabeth 1
Though there may be earlier references, as I haven't looked into the history of knitting. but spinning and weaving and such are fibrearts that were practiced greatly in the medieval times
