    Opinions on these hose



    Hand dyed to match MacPherson tartan, hand spun marl,
    100% superwash Merino, knitted in the round, no seams, resoleable foot.
    Should I give up now, or knit another pair?

    No, not first time. I’ve knit full fashion dice and argyle, and a crazy pair of border diamonds with split diamonds instead of marl. This is the latest evolution with asymmetrical marl that I drew up to make the main diamonds look different sizes.
    The Borders and Splits were a little clownish, but they were for a yarn dealer, not a piper. These are for a piper friend. I’m just wondering if I’m wandering off course or if traditionalists wouldn’t be afraid to wear these in public.

    Lindsay would be great with this chart. Border the green with blue, spin red/green and red/blue marl. Use a full red diamond with 2 over check threads spaced 1 stitch apart. A match.
