    I certainly will, and YES... she is talented and a "keeper!"

    Those hose were made from Joannie Newsome's "Large Shepherd's Plaid" pattern posted on Ravelry. They're a lot of work to make, and your lovely Mrs deserves a very nice (expensive) token of thanks.

    Wonderful hose but IMHO only appropriate in the 21st Century for formal wear: black tie, white tie and perhaps a very posh morning-dress do. You just need to be attending more formal events.

    Isaac, I would give my right arm to have someone that would knit a pair of hose like that for me. You are a very lucky man and I hope you wear them as often as you can., formal or informal.

    What a beautiful pair of hose! Your wife made you a wonderful accoutrement. I'm in the school of "wear them anytime you like". By wearing them to school you might even educate the chilluns a bit.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Splendid hose to be sure, but I too go with the idea of a more formal event to see them to best advantage.
