Two Kilts, One Good pair of hose

[MichiganKyle]

I took up knitting because shipping here is insane, all the rules with AFIP are not US expat friendly.

Look, if I can knit, anyone can.

Plus alpaca wool here is dirt cheap, so all my hose are alpaca, except the ones I learned on - they are acrylic.

So...this seems like it might merit another thread, but this interests me greatly. I've looked all over the place, and the only non-wool option I've found for diced hose are the nylon ones from J. Higgins:

I love my alpaca winter socks. If you were to start a store of alpaca highland wear, I would think you could do quite well. Is it possible you could expand on your process a little bit or post a how-to guide for people like me who know nearly nothing about knitting?

Knitting looks difficult, but it is easy. No matter how intimidating it looks, don't let it bother you.

I'll try to get the camera on my phone working proper and created a new thread - not real good at technology, but I will ask for help if over my head. I'll keep it kindergarten (I was a master electrician, I trained many an apprentice and I like things spelled out to me in the most basic of ways, I live by the acronym KISS).

Alpaca is AMAZING.
