Kilt Hose I've Knit

**thistlelass** · 24th August 08, 08:58 AM

Hi-I'm a Newbie here but thought I would just share a pic of the kilt hose I knit for my friend Tommy Hunt. These are knit from the Toirneach pattern found in the Winter 2007 issue of Knitty-online. I loved knitting these and they turned out very well-fit like a glove! I've committed myself to knitting him 7 more pair-yes, 7

3 Winter and 4 Summer weight, which I know I will thoroughly enjoy knitting and hope he will enjoy wearing-I love knitting kilt hose as it's not quite the same thing as knitting socks. These are knit in Paton's Merino Charcoal and are rather heavy, but that is what the pattern requires and Tommy seems to prefer this weight. They feel quite nice weight wise though-substantial!!

It looks as if I can't post a photo or link at this time. I'll try again when I can.

Thank you! I'm not sure how long it takes to be allowed to post pics, or maybe I haven't activated something...but I will post just as soon as I can.

I used to live in Fayetteville-way back in the 60's.

I appreciate hand-knitted hose if I could find a pair I like. Hurry and get those pics up....you may just have an interested buyer......

Hand knit hose can come in cables and argyles.
