    If the cable hose are hand-knit, and your wife thinks they look good, then wear them. In my mind's eye, hand knits in maroon, brick red, purple, or a vibrant blue or green would look even better.

    I probably mangled that made-up word, as my classical Greek is non-existent.

    Beautiful, thank you.

    To the OP, I'm also planning variations on this theme, as inspired by the talented Mrs. Newsome:
