There's nothing to do with knitting in this museum (Stonehaven) ....

 ...said the volunteer as we walked in and had a brief chat with her. Challenge accepted !! ( a big thank you to the Tolbooth museum for letting me take photos etc)

Evidence 

1, Spinning wheel in the corner, at first I thought that it was a bobbin winder but I'll settle for spinning wheel.


2. Photos of people knitting although it looks more like a sleeve than socks.




 3.  A man wearing a gansey


4  Spindle whorls

                                     

Not bad :-) There were plenty of other items in the museum ranging from a jail cell to everyday objects.





                                                                 Including this sampler
