...That Shakespeare mentions knitting 38 times in his plays...but only twice does it actually mean the kind of knitting we do.....
...That the earliest knitting found is from the grave of a woman in The Netherlands sometime in the second century...the gauge was incredibly small....
...That there's a comments section on the blog and we welcome comments........even though it is in very small print.
...That in November The Knaughty Knitter will be ONE YEAR OLD! Look for specials and fun things happening.
Meredith I love the history and Shakepeare inforamtion! Will we be seeing more of this? I think knitting does make you feel a part of history. Centuries of women making useful and beautiful things for themselves and their families.
