Mrs Wilson's Knitting Circle

Today we had a woman from the Kansas City Museum who maintains the garments there.  She brought some garments with  her.  The museum is under renovations and will be open again in Fall of 2019.  It is quite the house to walk through.  I can't imagine living there.

Some pictures from today.

 Barbie Doll Knitting Barbie outfit. It costs $3 in 1963.

 This is a Miser's Purse.  It is like a leg of panty hose with a slit. There are 2 metal circles that closes off the ends of each tube where people kept their coins.

 This is a Red Cross Bag.

This is the top of a pair of knee socks.

This hat has a skein of yarn and a pair of kntting needles on the top of it.  Not sure why?
