Ron,
They ain't nary knittin' mill makin' them thare socks 'cause they's way yonder too much trouble.

I've never seen hose like these, but I'd like for there to be many, many pairs of them on this forum and other places. (hint, hint, hint,...) I think they would look especialy good modelled in the Painted Desert, don't you? And in the French Alps, and in Inverness, and at Hamish's castle, and ...

Thanks for the positive regards so far.
