Since working all knit stitches is known as garter stitch, knitted garters must have been common at some period!

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 historic knit list? Those folks are a font of information. Good luck in your search. I'll keep an eye out and if I see any I'll certainly post to HKnit, and try to remember to post here as well. Please, if you find anything do share, I'd love to see an example of these.
