Do you want to knit your own Kilt Hose

[sydnie7]

No. 7 here, although heaven knows where I will find the time (not to mention the manual dexterity)! I've spread the word to some ladies of the clan not on this board, I figure the more the merrier. . .

I hope you don't mind me writing this to the forum, but there are many of you out there who want to knit their own kilt hose but do not have pattern/wool etc, we would be starting this in March to give me time to get organised, I would be giving part of the pattern every 2 weeks until we are all finished so if anyone gets stuck/needs help them we can all deal with it. Please PM me if you are interested then I will set up a group for you to join and keep everyone posted, then you get your own hand-knitted kilt hose.

I would like to take a stab at this. I don't knit though. Would it be practical for me to try?

[ChattanCat]

I'm in.

[###KILTEDKIWI###]

Yes i flippin am keen, (ah by me i mean the wife will be doing it all and probably enjoy the challenge).

Hose here in NZ costs from 45 New Zealand monopoly dollars a pop..!

Oh boy!

I want in too.

I can knit - kinda. I made a Fair isle sweater once. Started it for one boyfriend, ended up giving it to another.... Haha, only because his head was small enough to fit into the neckhole. My binding off sucks.... Anyway, I've always wanted to try turning a heel so doing it with others will be grand.

Yeah, another knitter.
Exactly the same thing happened with the first sweater I knitted. Had to re-do the binding off. Try larger needles for that row.

Well, as of late I've been relearning my knits and purls with help from the Mrs. I'm interested in learning to do my own hose so count me in!!

Thank you for all the reply's, I have now posted in the kilthoseknitalong group the colours I will be making available for the kit, you can let me know what shade you'd prefer if buying this kit, so I can go ahead and buy so if you are still interested in joining please do pop along to my blog where you will find info on how to join.....

[Conroy]

I am interested in joining the group.

Thanks again for all the interest, We have 18 members so a good wee clan of knitters. I'll soon have you all making your own. Still have room for more. I myself will be putting the names of those who have commented on my posts into a hat and before I start knitting mine I will pull your name out and this pair will be yours, you will know of course that the pair will be yours because I will ask for your measurements. I will be knitting mine in a blue lovat shade. A kind of Scottish present so to speak. I hope it is OK with the mods to do this.
