Hi Rosecelin,
A good source of knit historians is the Historic Kint list. It's
a Yahoogroup,

You didn't say what era you friend prefers - different people
concentrate on different time periods, cultures, etc. There are a lot
of great discussions.
And we have talked about crochet, too, and it's beginnings. I do
18th century and crochet is not around for that era, either.

Recently there was a discussion about the history of knitting. I
didn't really pay to much attention to it since I do not knit. But
a friend of mine is a knitter and wants to talk to anyone who does
know the history of knitting.
If you can help, would you please contact me privately so I can
get my friend in contact with you.

By the way, please excuse this question if it has been discussed.
When did crocheting come along? I was told long ago that it
started after 1650 - Is this true? I've been trying to convince a
few of my needlework students that it is out of period for our
group.
