by Lady Veronica Gainford... My wife loves to knit; so I bought her that book (with her approval), and "Patterns for Guernseys, Jerseys, and Arans" by Gladys Thompson; but, nothing yet... I guess I need to make some more points; and I expect you've had yours redeemed, so there's no time like now to do something extra special for her! ;-)

Ratchet the subtle suggestion mode up a notch----buy some wool in the colors you want hose made in and leave it in an obvious place along with the book opened to the page showing the pattern of hose you would like her to knit. Then attach a little card saying something like "Honey, I love you, and know how much you love to knit, so I bought you a present of this beautiful wool yarn in all these different colors so you can just enjoy knitting to your heart's content without having to worry about buying wool or picking patterns. This one looks interesting, don't you think? No worries, just knit away. Love. Fit2BKilted"

If that doesn't work we might have to move on to something that might border on the obvious, like asking her directly to do it for you.

Good Luck.

Matt, that is a beautiful pair of hose - your wife did an amazing job.

I never know to put this type post in "show us your pics" or "DIY" or "Kilt accessories." But since I didn't "do it myself" (my wife knit them), I chose kilt accessories.

Well, judging by everyone's reactions, if you had put them in "For Sale," you would have been walking around bare-footed in under five minutes.

Very nice hose. They look like they are quite heavy and will last a long time.
