Her burial clothes included these stockings which are one of the first examples where knit and purl stitches were used as decorative elements in the design. http://www.midrealm.org/mktag/projects/caelfindToledoStocking/content.html Tue, 20 Feb 2018 18:52:59 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=21374 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=21374 I created these instructio ns for a beginning stocking-k nitter's workshop. These stockings are similar to the coarser, less aristocrat ic knitted stockings that were made in great quantities in northern Europe in the 16th century. They use a 16th-centu ry type of heel that I think is easier to understand than more modern types of heels. With this earlier type of heel, it's a lot easier to see how the stocking turns a 90-degree corner between the vertical leg and the horizontal foot parts. http://chrisknit.blogspot.com/2007/12/pre-literate-stockings.html Tue, 20 Feb 2018 14:52:26 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=21353 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=21353 These stockings are similar to the coarser, less aristocrat ic knitted stockings that were made in great quantities in northern Europe in the 16th century.
