Knitting kilt hose?

[frank_a]

By the way, I am now registered with Ravelry.com as franka2 and have looked around some. Amazon now says my book about knitting kilt hose will here tomorrow (along with a bunch of the brass Chicago screws I use on a lot of my belts). I'm in the middle of finishing three belts right now, all brown, a 1-1/2" for my brother John, a 1-1/4" for my son Gregg, and a new kilt belt for my good kilt. They will get done in that order and I want my kilt belt for kirkin of the tartan Sunday a.m.!

Thanks to everyone for the advice, it is greatly appreciated. I'm motivated to learn how to do this stuff, but it needs to get in line!

Yes, it's the Gainford book. I know about crafts that are liberating & frustrating at the same time too. I do leather work in my spare time. We have some deal with Amazon where we can borrow a lot of kindle books for free, & there's a bunch on knitting socks. I've also found a bunch of videos on YouTube. Looks like it's difficult finding good needles?

Thanks all!

Everyone has their preference when it comes to needles. My wife and I love bamboo knitting needles. Our locally owned kitting supply owner swears by metal needles. I don't think I'd like plastic ones.

Gee, apparently my post did not post. Anyways, my good wife had a bunch of extra stuff she gave me I can start with, and I got that book today on knitting kilt hose. It will be a while before I get into that!
