Shay...

I have a pair of the "Anderson" pattern hose which my dear mother (80 plus years young) knit for me. In fact, I wore them at my daughters wedding last weekend and they are wonderful. To me reading the pattern is like trying tpo read ancient Egyptian, but she obviously understood it all. She is, in fact, suppose to be knitting me anither pair for my birthday - in another few weeks - in a different color. I have seen hand knit hose like this selling for upwards of $100 per pair... definately worth it if you if you know a knitter!
