How hard is it to knit Kilt hose

I've knitted sock stype slippers before but nothing like this. Besides I like a challange.

Now I just need to find a yarn shop. It is hard enough to drag the rogue into a fabric shop, UNLESS it is to buy fabric for me to make HIM something.

In my limited experience (and in Southern Calif market) I've found yarn shops to have high prices and somewhat limited sock yarn selection. I really like the Patons sock yarn I used on my second pair, ordered online from Mary Maxim -- all the links are in the thread described in my post above. Unless you are trying to match some unusual color, it's hard to go wrong with bottle green, navy blue, or oatmeal hose.
