    New Hand knit Lovat hose

    A few weeks ago I commissioned a pair of hand knit lovat blue hose, my old pair in this colour while of great quality were always too tight. The price of these was too good to pass up. They came in the post a couple of days ago and I had a chance to wear them yesterday. I am very pleased with them and yes I did have to do a double cuff on them but think it is well worth it for the price. I will be ordering again. I also tried something new and have for the first time broken up the Scottish Wildcat kilt suit into two pieces. After wearing them all day I can report that the wool is not itchy like some other hand knit hose can be. They are very comfortable.

    Your pleasure is apparent in your smile but subtly so in the shadowed hand trying to get you to stay still for the photo. I assume you were jumping for joy.

    I thought I'd get the first pair done to see what they were like, but yes I will be ordering more. Best part is you get to choose your colour from several yarns from two different suppliers.
