While I am still trying to narrow down my critical question, I found some quick reads online about the history of knitting. I have found several books at the Auraria Library as well as my public library.
I may want to start looking more into the history of knitting in different regions such as Scandanavia and Ireland, where families identified themselves by the patterns on their sweaters.
