Best Answer

Early knit textiles were found in Egypt dating back to the 11th century. Knitting made it to Europe somewhere between the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1527, the first trade guild was established in Paris, which was male dominated. With the invention of knitting machines, more women became involved.

There is no verified answer for that. It is a craft that slowly evolved into mainstream. What we know about Knitting and all the cool stuff is something of the late 19th century with the popularization of fashion to the people.

What is modular knitting?

Modular knitting is a form of knitting that involves knitting small geometric shapes that are pieced together into a larger product. The most intriguing feature of modular knitting is perhaps the varying directions in which the stitches move and interweave with each other. Entrelac, another knitting method, is similar to modular knitting.
