    Dear Sunniva,

    there is a mid 14th century alterpiece, German by origin (from the 
top    of my head), on which the Virgin Mary is working on a sweater. 
Because    of this it is assumed that knitting reached western Europe 
round the    1350's.
    I hope this will help you.

    Yours sincerly:

    Johan Terlouw
