Do you have an approximate date for the stocking?  and if pre-1600, can I beg

Oh, and the best thing was a black silk knitted stocking foot, 
probably Italian. Anyone who understands knitting patterns could 
probably work out the pattern. The gusset-thing shaping the foot was 
fascinating. With all the knitting, the needles must have been tiny, 
even allowing for shrinkage and fulling. The one knitted hat looks 
like fabric, and the child's vest/shirt/jumper was knitted in very 
small even rows of plain/purl - sorry, having a senior moment and 
cannot remember then name of the stitch!
