Ladies' Wool Knit Swim Suit (Massachusetts, 1930s), Augusta Auctions.
This knitted bathing suit features a repeated motif of blue intarsia sea creatures against a neutral background.
Astronomy Sweater (England, 1980s) designed by Jamie & Jessi Seaton. Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales.
I nabbed this 100% merino wool sweater at the goodwill bins for around $3.
It wasn't in the best condition (several holes + wear/pilling) but I unraveled it was able to salvage over 200 grams of wool AND prevented more textile waste from going to the landfill
highly recommend unraveling for any other fiber artists on a budget!
Aviatrix Sweaters (American, 1930s), designed by Lucille M. Dingley (1911-2003). ASU FIDM Museum.
These 1930s sweaters bear labels indicating Lucille M. Dingley designed them “exclusively for women flyers.” Dingley knew a thing or two about flying: she was a U.S. Women Army Service Pilot (WASP) during World War II, the manager of the Auburn-Lewiston Airfield in Maine, and a member of the Ninety-Nines, the Sportsman Pilot Association, and the Whirley Girl Helicopter Club. It’s unknown if Dingley designed the patterns or simply lent her name to the fashions, but the flight diagrams rendered on these hand-knit tops were lifted directly from the aeronautic textbooks a whole new generation of adventurous women were studying in flight schools
Sweater (probably American, 1895), The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The large gigot (leg-of-mutton) sleeves of this wool knitted sweater were one of the most distinctive silhouettes of 1890s fashion.
If you want to knit your own, a similar pattern was published in Fancy and Practical Knitting (1897) on pages 167-168.
Knitted Cape (American, circa 1875-1900), Metropolitan Museum of Art
