    Except that’s probably not what they’re for, I saw a video recently (I think it was this one) that went into detail about the reasons why it doesn’t make much sense for these to be a knitting tool.

      There’s a lesson here about the differences between history and a good historical narrative, but that’s the lesson of most history and no one ever listens to it.

      First and foremost: knitting wasn’t invented until centuries later and didn’t appear in Europe until about the 14th century.
