I didn't catch what dates you are looking at. The later styles are very
conical and often have skirts fitted smoothly over the front of the hooped
skirt. I had a look in my
Dame Catriona... Hey there...
I don't know of any knitted garters. I've looked at lots of
inventories and wills and not seen them mentioned. Of course, that
doesn't mean that they don't exist, just that I haven't seen any in
about 7 years of historic knit research. Have you tried over on the
Since working all knit stitches is known as garter stitch, knitted garters must

I have made several of these in both black and white. I line the black
wool ones in black linen and the white ones with self fabric. I am
trying to remember where I saw it, but there is a painting/drawing of a
woman with a black partlet and red lining. It might have been a

They also weren't allowing photography in 2002, when I went over there, and
then later that year, apparently they were. The policy seems to change

We've discussed it over there, as well. Despite the (current) knitting
nomenclature including the phrase garter stitch, I don't recall anyone on

Bjarne, I'm with you on this basically. It seems to me that the music, or the
words (in the case of a play), should be seen as part of a whole world being
