I have played with knitting the dishrags in various patterns so I believe that I could handle kilt hose patterns. But things like arches and gussets bewilder me. Also, like Fluter, the idea of making a duplicate is daunting to me. The idea of knitting two at a time makes great sense to me, but the directions I have read didn't make sense until I saw Fluter's pics.

Please keep posting the pics and as I run into further questions I know who/where to ask.

Thanks.
If you can knit,purl,read a pattern and kit to gauge, you can knit kilt hose!! Give it a try and I'm sure one of us will be able to help if you run into any snags!
