We've discussed it over there, as well. Despite the (current) knitting nomenclature including the phrase "garter stitch," I don't recall anyone on the h-knit list coming up with examples of actual garters made from that stitch (or other knitting). At least, certainly not pre-17th century European. --Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marie Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Historical Costume" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2005 4:56 AM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: Mus. of London... knit question > Dame Catriona...
