anyone knit thier own hose?

[Spartan Tartan]

Just as the title says, does anyone here knit their own kilt hose? I took up knitting in January and have gotten to the point that I just don't believe it can be a hard as some make it sound. Admittedly, I am not talking about my own argyle or diced or complex patterns, just some fairly basic patterns. Something that fits me perfectly and is a colour I want. I would prefer to wear my kilt to the yarn store and find something in a colour I like--much preferred to guessing at online pictures.

Thanks!
