I believe women learned to knit perhaps as long ago as the Venus of Willendorf, thirty thousand
years ago. A lady who was top-notch fashion designer got interested in archaeology. She
noticed what hundreds of men had not, namely that the venus does not have an elaborate
hairdo, but a knitted cap. She also found what she believes are signs that originally
the figure was covered with some type of fabric garment. But look at this picture of her,
and see if you don't think the Venus has a cap, probably made from small knitted or
crocheted squares joined together.
