Good quest...Who *IS* the patron saint of knitting? Good question. I went googling, and the best I could find was this:<BR/><BR/>"Guilds occupy a popular place in the imagination of knitters interested in the history of their craft. Knitters like to refer to mediaeval knitting guilds. Actually, guilds were organized around trades and the production of goods rather than a particular method of production. The best-known guild involved in knitting production is the Guild of St. Fiacra, founded 1527 in Paris. St. Fiacra was not associated with knitting before being adopted by makers of knitted wool caps; St. Fiacra was the patron saint of makers of cotton caps and was likely adopted by the newly-formed guild because of this existing association with cap making."<BR/><BR/>http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=knittingLaura Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386562865080786453noreply@blogger.com
