Hi Rosecelin,
A good source of knit historians is the Historic Kint list.
It's a Yahoogroup,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/historicknit/
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.
Roscelin
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.
