Socks like these!!

[LitTrog]

I remembered (and found) some threads and members who might be able to help you out--if you're up for some knitting. I already asked about purchasing a pair of these:

That's not happening.

Sydnie7 also knitted some lovely tops that could, I'm assuming, be continued as an entire sockie:

There. I don't like it when people have to lie about me. The truth is damning enough.

You're all wrong, especially you, LitTrog. That's a pair of solid-colored hose (red or brown or orange depending on your monitor) with dark "rakers" knitted in. They wouldn't be terribly hard to make. They're not the Shepherd's Plaid, either large or small, because all the diamonds are the same color and they're bordered by the dark stripes.

Bah. You guys with your "knowledge" and "talents." Always taking the legs out from under my ignorant nincompoopery. I still like my idea better--no work involved, and I get to reclaim the sassy hosiery my wife stole from me.

If you want knit hose, you can commission a knitter (such as my wife).
Good luck!

Or you could get a set of 5 pointy sticks, a couple of sheep, a spindle, and some plants to dye the wool and knit your own. This will just add a second addiction to the ones you already have,

Please explain: rakers

Thank You

Rakers are the single-stitch-wide diagonal stripes that you often see in "tartan" hose, like these:


Here the rakers are the white and red stripes.

Thank you.

However, In My Humble Opinion when i enlarge the picture the reddish stripes appear to be wider than one-stitch-wide. But I may very well be mistaken.

Well, let's use the white stripes in your avatar as our example.

LitTrog,

I love the hose she made referred to in your post #11. I wish I had THAT pattern, they look great! Very talented. I will be looking forward to the pattern when you find it for the hose in the painting.

I understand the white lines are rashers, however, when I blow the picture up and look close the reddish and white stripes are about the same size. I can not say for sure that where the reddish lines cross there is a marled or checkering.
