Knitting groups
The origin of the knitting guild

In the seventeenth century, knitting guilds were the mainly male domain of professional knitters. To join, you had to embark on approximately seven years of study the collimation of which was a demonstrated prowess in the craft. Work was subject to strict regulations as a form of quality control. As a member of the guild, you belonged to a family who would care for you when in need and discipline you when you stepped out of line.


Much like a magic wand: previously owned knitting needles retain the skill of the artisan. All you have to do is discover the secret to unlock it.
