Interesting site and it highlights the confusion with "knitting" and "crossed-loop knitting" or "one-needle knitting". There's "knitting" as in the technique of creating fabric with two or more sticks and yarn and "knitting" in a more generic sense which means to weave together like a broken bone which is "knitted" back together after healing. Terms are flip-flopped all the time and unless the writer or curator is a knitter, naalbinder or otherwise interesting in textile arts, most of the time the generic term of "knitting" is used.

Also note that the article says that it dates from the "Roman" period. That's several hundred years so which "period" does that mean? It's like saying "Victorian" which could mean over 60 years of history.
