There is no evidence of knitting in the Roman Empire

Those necklaces were Roman made.

Also really expensive even back then if you ask me.

    Is this really considered knitting and not metalworking?

    I don’t think most knitters would be able to do anything with a bunch of wire, and it doesn’t seem like the dodecahedrons have the kind of wear that wire crafting would entail. I also don’t know that crafting wire into a necklace would necessarily translate to skill in knitting gloves, or even mean people would have the idea for it.
