That is a good price. I find them mind numbingly boring to knit. Poor Bob often makes do with cheaters -- short ends that wrap around an elastic garter and just look like the real thing!

They look really nice, and the price is dirt cheap. I believe that I will have to order a few pair as well.
Cheers for sharing.

Those look nice! How reasonable was shipping? How long are they? I bought some woven ones from made by House of Cheviot, but they were slightly too small at only 30" unstretched between the fringe.

Yes she does very nice work!
She knit a claret pair for me, custom/bespoke extra-long due to my fat calves. (UK-made shooting garters are too short.)
Yes they're much more stretchy than UK shooting garters. For me this is a good thing because they stay up.
I wear them with my castellated hose. They're great! Long enough to go around my calves and still make a big nice knot.
BTW I got mine on Ebay, but I'm pretty sure it's the same person.

I paid $2.50 for shipping for my two pair, I never measured mine but her listing states 32" unstretched, and they can stretch a good bit!
