Someone on the Knitlist posted a link to the Knitting Together virtual museum, which appears to be part of a site commemorating commercial knitting in an area of the UK.

There are several stockings and one pair of “Gaiters” which appear to be a garment worn between the shoe and the stocking to extend wair. I’ve heard that word before but didn’t know what it might mean.

Other interesting items are a pair of lacy fingerless mitts made of rayon, from the 1930’s, and an interlock knit swimsuit from the 1920’s. It’s worth a peek.
