    Those are some very nice-looking hose, and I'm sure you'll wear them proudly.
    As to what the tops are, I can tell you what they're NOT:
    They're not really diced, because dicing is usually done with two colors and a mixture (marl) of those two colors.
    They're not Argylls, since they have no rakers (stripes crossing the diamonds).
    They're not entrelac, since they don't cross each other.

    In short, I think you have some unique hose that will be the envy of everyone who sees them. Please congratulate your dear mother on a job well done.

    thanks, all. i'm very pleased with them and grateful, as well. will probably go for a pair of navy blue ties and a pair of forest ties.

    mods, please change the title of this thread to
    new handknit hose with neither diced, argyl nor entrelac tops
