    No need, it’s been solved basically. You knit gloves with them. Or rather the fingers. They are only found in colder climates / up north. There are videos of people using replicas of them to knit gloves.

      There’s not a scientific consensus on that. It’s a good theory, but stating it as an accepted fact is inaccurate.

        “It’s been solved basically

        Almost always translates to “This is the theory I like most so it’s the answer I’ll run with.”

        I feel like the point isn’t that it MUST have been used for knitting (even if it could have been), but that we should be open to more possibilities before defaulting to a religious explanation.
