Re: [Mid] Sweater stitching via Period Fishing

Lady Ayesha,

That's 'exactly' what we're talking about. I found out about that little
tidbit about fisherman's sweater's threads and was told that someone had
written a book which debunked that. I found that hard to believe and have
began my 'own' research to confirm my belief in the old tales of
stitches=village. I've sent message to several cultural/social
anthropologists here in teh states, and am seeking out a gew 'key' one in
the UK to help document this. But I would love to see any documentation
that you might have on this subject to add to my debate.

And here's one for ya' Ayesha- Did you know that during the Victorian era
that it was a LAW that both boys and girls were to be taught to knit? Just
something else that snuck up on me while doing my period fishing research.
