New hand knit hose

Good looking hose Matt. I'm lucky enough that my Mum's clicking away knitting my wedding hose now! Hand knitted hose from a loved one is very hard to beat in my book.

Very ice looking hose! That does remind me of Q-Bert. Giving away our age are we?

Tae care,

As a hose knitter myself, congrats. Those are great socks. Here is a hint I picked up in the Highlands. When knitting hose for "spindleshanks" double the yarn in the back of the calf, where the calf muscle is. It makes the calf "bulkier". Of course, I'm not implying anything here, just furthering a bit of lore from the Highlands.
