The Coptic's had a form of needle knitting and to my understanding a form of macramé' was known in Egypt.
It's called naalbinding, and is almost identical to knitting except that it's done with a threaded needle. The thread follows almost the same path as it does in knitting, except that the worker has to thread a new needle every once in a while.
