Show off those Tartan Hose!

I had no idea that tartan and diced hose were made with a seam... Guess I was thinking they were knitted with some kind of magical pattern, but just like regular hose.

Nice hose Mark. Did you knit them using straight needles, or the circular needles where the backs are connected together?

Wow Mark, thats fantastic! I thought about learning how to knit for some time but I ll surely give it a try now

A point of clarification some of us have bought our tartan hose, my Isle of Skye were knit by Diane at Russet Lodge Custom Knits, the Maple Leaf pair I found in the for sale section of the forum, and the diced pair I found at a local tartan shop.

I also bought mine, from the same member McMurdo bought his Maple Leaf hose from. I have no talent for sewing or knitting, I am afraid.

Well mine won't have a seam either. they'll be knit as a sock and not as a flat piece. the diamonds at the back just vary in size a wee bit (large at top, small at bottom)

Oh, so it could be done either way. Thanks for pointing that out.
