Yea!

I have been a horrible x-marker (punish me... pretty please?) and not been on the site for a while. I'm still working on the kilt hose and I'm nearly to the widest part of the calf, so close but yet, so far.

Yea you!!! No, you're not terrible at all-just busy! Can't wait to see!

I think somewhere here on XMTS I said I would never (silly me!) knit plaid kilt hose. I now eat my words, because in January, I'll be knitting Gainford's Shepherd Plaid kilt hose for a friend. I'll knit the large plaid. We're just getting measurements, deciding on colors, etc. then when my schedule is cleared after the Holidays, I'll start on them. I'll still be knitting Tommy his dozen as well but by that time I should have mastered knitting two at a time!

**volunteers to punish String***

I was in Portland the past week and walked into THIS store.

http://www.knit-purl.com

I looked through their sock patterns and found this:

Which would be a really lovely knee-sock for a lass, whether it says "German" or not..

How about the Rhiannon?

Have fun, ladies and gents.

Thanks for the link! We bought Rhiannon for one of Tom's pair of kilt hose. It really is a gorgeous pattern! This designer has some really nice "regular" socks too! I like the German sock-that particular design would look great as part of the calf decrease instead of the side embellishment! Nice sock though.

Awwww, now don't be too hard on String! The important thing is, she's knitting...and she's knitting kilt hose, so all is well and right with the world.

Why were you in a yarn store? Are you planning on taking up a new hobby?

Cookie A's patters are lovely. She has many.

I walked by, thought of you turns flirt engine on high-octane, puffs out chest, bats eyes...no, wait and just had to go in.

Alan, you gotta watch out when flirting with younger women, the wifey might decide those big throwing sticks of yours make good clubs for hitting husbands.

Anyway, progress on the kilt hose, I'm on the cuff and ready to be done... yesterday.
