At first, in principle, it seems like a good idea, but I just don't know how you could pull it off without looking like a "bad Photoshop job" but in real life. I dunno -- maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a skilled knitter could make it look relatively or even completely seamless... But you would certainly be restricting yourself to certain materials, but just as importantly, colors. Other than black, every other color would have to be carefully matched -- a daunting task. For that matter, even in black, back isn't always the same black from one product to the next.

I like your creative thinking though...

For the record, however, I was able to find a knit pattern for some regular, (toed) lateral cable socks here: http://ummeyusuf.blogspot.com/2007/1...-with-toe.html which is a step in the right direction. The next step would be to just make them thick and long enough to be kilt hose...
