Hand Knit Hose by Red Lioness..Awsome

**O'Neille** · 25th October 06, 09:14 PM

I'd already left work when I got a message that I had a package at work that contained gasp.... kilt hose. So I spent the next 4 hours thinking of reasons to go back to the office and get them. The PCS had a hard day at school and I decided a kilt hose/ice cream run would be in order. So I got them and they are the most confortable hose I've ever worn. There is nothing like hose made to measure. Here are the pictures. Red Lioness really came through on these. I'll wear them to my business meetings at the Phoenix Biltmore this weekend. O'Neille

I haven't taken them off all night. Perfect timing for our changing weather.

Beautiful!

Didn't realize they were available....Red Lioness...tell me what I missed.

And O'Neille - you do know the Arizona Irish Festival is in Phoenix this Saturday -

Wanted to go but was down there last weekend and going to Tucson for their games on 11/4....

Maybe I should ask around and see if some of the Mormon ladies in town knit kilt hose...

RL and myself had a little trade of a kilt and sash for some hose. Thanks for the heads up re: the Irish Festival. I'll be free on Saturday and I may just make it. O'Neille

There is nothing like wearing anything that is custom made to fit you. These look great and should last you for years. Red Lioness is a talented woman.

These were the first things I'd knit for someone I couldn't check the progress as I went, so I was a wee bit nervous. I take my knitting with me everywhere, so everyplace I went people would ask what I was making and I'd show them. Half said they were way too big, half said they were way too small and only about three people acknowledged that they *might* be the right size. I was waiting with bated breath for O'Neille to get these and validate my knitting.

I'm glad they fit so well; I've got the stretch on the foot down pat with this wool, so I can easily get snug without getting tight. I'm up for other trades or outright buying hose. I'm working for a tam for myself right now, so I'll let you lads know how it goes.
