Hose before Brogues!

Wow, all I can say is that she is not charging enough for her work!

I agree. The hose appear to be made from big yarn on big needles*, which would make them fairly quick to make.


*To me, anything over sock weight and size 2 is big yarn and big needles.

No. Nothing. I recieves them shortly after she shipped them and there was no issues what so ever.

Thanks for the info. And I'm so glad you chose blue, because that is the one color her site doesn't show.

Is that a good thing or not?

According to my Knitter wife that is a good thing. Anything over fingering weight would look awful.

don't ask my why that is because I'm not a Knitter...

About the yarn size...
The smaller the yarn is the better my heels feel. My weight is spread out over more surfaces, which eliminates the yarn from digging into my heels. I've made hose from worsted weight yarn, and don't wear them anymore because the bigger yarn is uncomfortable to wear.
