New hose for Bob

[sydnie7]

Are you going to run a small cable up the side? I learned the hard way, from a previous project, that you need to distribute calf increases on each side of the cable so that it stays centered on the leg. If you just put all the increases at center back, the cable gets closer and closer to shin. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions, I'm doing some traveling this month so may not be on the board as much.

Not quite sure what I'm going to do on the leg part yet, but I found the pattern for the cuff on Ravelry. Thank you so much!!! I think I'll probably do something simple; braiding on the fronts & backs or maybe nothing at all. I was taught to work top down so that the toes/foot can be easily repaired if and when they wore out. I have yet to wear out a pair of my hose, tho. The lighter ones do show a lot of dirt. I'm a piper and have played with a number of different bands and each band has a different color/style hose . . . of course! White hose were very popular about 20 years ago, but thankfully we're off that habit for a while. I only get to use my handmade hose for the holidays & Burns Dinners and they don't see that much traffic. It's a hoot!

Cheers!
