Period Knitted Items Produced Plantation Stockings, 2008 There was a call from the Plymouth Plantation in Boston for knit stockings for their reenactors in 2008. I followed their pattern. Even though the time period is outside of the SCA period, the pattern is similar to what would have been worn in period Pouch for Queens of Atlantia, 2014 There was a call to honor current and past Queens of Atlantia with knitted pouches. I created a design with a Spike and the blue and white waves. Largess Pouches, 2018 Created 3 multicolored pouches for Storvik largess. Sion Pouch, 2019 This is a recreation of a multi colored pouch from Richard Rutt's book A History of Hand Knitting. There are 5 pouches that Rutt discusses. This pouch is the first one. Garters, Current Creating simple garters as thank you for my Dolphin Scroll and as largess for Storvik.
