Tartan hose vs plain hose

[piperdbh]

If one really wanted "tartan" hose, he would have to make them form tartan, like Dr. Newsome's photo shows. As has been previoulsy posted, the pattern in knitted won't exactly match the sett of the tartan, although that can be done.
I would like to see Argyle/"tartan" hose with a solid color cuff instead of continuing the diamonds and rakers.

By the way, are "self-colored" and "solid-colored" the same thing?

Yes - the same.

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm one degree shy of that appellation. :-)


Mr. Newsome.
