Beautiful! I've had a couple of excellent knitters I know (and I own at least one of their Aran sweaters) turn down "the opportunity" to knit some gorgeous kilt hose for me such as the ones you show above, so I am envious! I'd agree that more cuff would be ideal, but those are great! I'm sure it's a tough thing to measure the stretch when no stretch equals best looking, but full stretch is too tight. It's beyond me.
