Easy to make knitted garter ties.

Why thank you, Terry! I will keep that in mind if I need to start a new project. ;)

I should add that I'm thrilled Arlen's catching the knitting bug, finally. It's great to have another hobby to share.

Actually, the blue hose are hose that my wife Diane designed and made for me some years ago. The pattern is for sale on her Etsy/Ravelry/Blog.

I can't get the site to open, I keep getting a message saying "internet explorer unable to open"

Darn it, when I saw the thread topic I thought that I would just have to beg she that must be obeyed for one thing, now that those hose have made an appearance, I am going to be on a begging spree

Arlen or Unaspenser, would it be possible to advise what colour blue those hose are. They are of the most manificent blue I have seen for many a year.

I purchased a couple of pairs of these hose from Matt at STM, I went to get a link to them for you and it apears there either isnt any in stock at the moment or he no longer carries them.

Those look to be the Trellis top hose from the Grampian line made by the House of Cheviot. We did carry them on our web site as a special order item. Unfortunately, the House of Cheviot is not making that particular style any longer, so we've removed them from the site.

We still offer similar "fancy top" hose from House of Cheviot, here:

More on topic, the garters look great, Arlen! And nothing beats being able to get just the color you want by doing it yourself.

Terry,
you REALLY need to start defaulting to Firefox as your standard browser

I'm not sure of the exact colourline but I'll be sure to ask Diane when she gets home and let you know.


Matt, you're absolutely right. It's so nice to be able to match or contrast however much I like.



Terry, I'll pm you some other links.

Thats really good Arlen. I will take up making my own garters now! Thanks.
