"Viking Style" Brouge lacing?

[Silmakhor]

Agreed on hose not being cheap (however learning to knit is cheap and then you can make a fine pair of hose for the cost of the wool).

For neutral, I'd say that lovat green or blue, oatmeal or bsion would serve the same purpose but be more interesting than white or black.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but as a color-deficient person I usually try to play it as safe as possible if I'm trying new combos ;). I don't even know what "bison" is, other than tasty.
