bOB Thank you. I have been using a knitting machine - which is quick, but is hard to take with me when shopping with my wife. I decided to pick up some circular needles I have and try hand knitting my hose. So far the time it has taken to knit two inched by hand I could have finished the foot, turned the heel and be on the way up the leg.

What is your favorite size needles? US 6

What is your favorite size yarn? Medium, about 13 wraps per inch and I'm getting about 7 stitches per inch.

What is your favorite type of yarn? Patons Classic Wool Merino

Do you prefer circular or double pointed? circular - Too many things to keep track of with DPNS.

What is the make of your favorite needle? I'm using some cheap bamboo needles and am trying to gather info. to buy my next set.

Where do you get your yarn? LYS: Be a yocal - Buy local! - I agree

How long have your been knitting? Did some in my teens - 40 some years ago. Picked up the needles just before Christmass.

Do you use the English or Continental Style of knitting? English/throwing

Do you would you knit hose for others (X-Markers)? Not at this time, I agree it is amassing how much time is put into a pair of hose.

Looking forward to pictures.
