I don't know whether the "links of love" is technically a clock? or a fancy rib? But either way, I'm going to make some kilt hose using that rib down either side of the leg to the ankle. I'm just fiddling around with trying out different stitches for the turn-down cuff, and getting a bead on my knitting gauge.

What I have been wondering is how much open-work, or lace-work is too much for man to wear? I've seen some men wear hose that struck me as being somewhat lacey...but they carried it off, to great effect. More open-work would be a good idea for a summer wt. hose, wouldn't it?
