Hello Knitters!

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Greetings all, 7 February, 544amMST

Since a lot of you talented folks are gathered here in this thread, perhaps it is my opportunity to pop this question.

Do any of you take on kilt hose jobs for hire?
I have three big fat skeins of wool yarn to match my tweed kilt suit, ( pix of which I have posted up in "Traditional Highland Wear")

Neither my wife nor I knit, nor do either of us have the desire to learn to do so.
I make Argyll jackets and waistcots, and some kilts. I would rather try to be pretty good at a couple of things, than half-arsed at too many things.

So anyhowse, I have the yarn but no one to knit for me.

Fide et Fortitudine, aye!

I mentioned your connundrum to my wife, since she's just now started to express an interest in knitting hose for others (in the past she has insisted that you had to marry her to get kilt hose -- lucky for me!). She started asking me questions about what type of yarn you had, what type of hose you wanted, etc., none of which I had the answers to, obviously.

If you'd like to discuss it directly with her, PM me and I'll send you her email address.

Here's an example of a pair she knit for me that I think would look great with your outfit. But she can talk with you about various patterns, etc.

If you are looking for custom hose don't forget Arlen's beautiful bride, Diane, at Russet Lodge Knits.

I knit and my first project was kilt hose, isn't it nice to not know how hard most people thing socks are.
