From me, for the right price. I made these to my measurements ("spindle shanks" is the technical term). PM me if you're interested.

For those of you who are just dying to know, I made these hose from worsted-weight Cascade 220, on size 5 dpns. The black rakers are knitted in, not duplicate-stitch embroidered. I worked them flat and seamed up the backs using a very bad mattress stitch. The pattern continues down the foot, in case I wear these hose with buckle brogues. In spite of being made from worsted, they are quite comfortable. I mulled over several cuff options, but the one that seemed best was no cuff, just as in the painting.
