Kilt Hose I've Knit

[thistlelass]

Hi-I'm a Newbie here but thought I would just share a pic of the kilt hose I knit for my friend Tommy Hunt. These are knit from the Toirneach pattern found in the Winter 2007 issue of Knitty-online. I loved knitting these and they turned out very well-fit like a glove! I've committed myself to knitting him 7 more pair-yes, 7 3 Winter and 4 Summer weight, which I know I will thoroughly enjoy knitting and hope he will enjoy wearing-I love knitting kilt hose as it's not quite the same thing as knitting socks. These are knit in Paton's Merino Charcoal and are rather heavy, but that is what the pattern requires and Tommy seems to prefer this weight. They feel quite nice weight wise though-substantial!!

It looks as if I can't post a photo or link at this time. I'll try again when I can.
