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 found some khaki coloured yarn when I was looking for something else, so I thought that I would do some hose to go with my DPM kilts - plain ones rather than try for argyles.

I have just got to where the toe of the sock is try-on-able and am remembering what a joy it is to have hand made to fit socks forming on the needles.

I don't need lessons - I think I have the hang of it after 40 years - I can make either toe up or top down socks too.

Knitting socks is interesting and not so time consuming as making a jersey, plus you can get a heap of yarn and just keep making them, if you wear one into a hole you can pull out that bit and reknit it.

I thoroughly recommend it as a pastime.

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.

[vmac3205]

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!!
