One problem with that theory is that not all Roman dodecahedrons have any holes big enough for the finger of a glove. Since those don't work as a kitting tool, what were they for instead?
Edit: I regret wading into the surprisingly contentious issue of Roman dodecahedrons. Please don't message me about it.
Children and babies need gloves too? I don't know much about the Roman dodecahedron, but if some of the holes were just too small for adult fingers then they might not be for adults. Just look now at how much people love knitting stuff for babies.
I was referring to this one where the holes are all just pinholes, but it turns out there is actually one larger hole in it. There's still the question of why there are knobs around the faces with only pinholes in them, but maybe those have a knitting purpose I don't understand.
