I’ve been curious about the wrap around hose flashes for awhile, and I tried to make my own as posted ..here.., but I really didn’t like the results that much. The tape that I used wasn’t really that flexible, and the comfort was lacking.

So I again looked at the wrap around flashes that were offered at different locations, but couldn’t bring myself to pay the $35 plus dollars for what is essentially just a strip of cloth. So I tried knitting my own. My results were also unusable. While I was taught knitting as therapy while in the hospital recovering from wounds, I never got to be that good at it. My stitches were un-even, and the tension was not regular. So I kept on looking.

The other day, while wondering around in a hobby shop, I saw the below. Perfect I thought! I bought one, took it home and in less than a half hour, after spending less than $7 (for the gadget and two things of yarn) I have some knitted wrap around flashes. Here's the green ones.
