    The Amazing Carol Has the First Kilt Hose Completed

    First one done! Now she says the challenge is to make the second one match exactly.

    Things I've learned in life:
    What you focus on becomes your reality.
    You can't control what other people do or say, you can only control how you respond.
    Don't act your age, it's not healthy.

    Thumbs up

    YES! Wonderful! Congratulations to you and to Carol for completing it!

    (As we say in the knitting world, of which I'm still a newbie -- To Carol: "welcome to the dark side" --- for making hose/socks!)

    Go Carol Go!

    Don't worry about the "SSS" = Second Sock Syndrome Keep it up!

    Oh yes, unless it's a washable wool - DO NOT ever machine wash it or it'll become a nice felt stocking.

    I just noticed the "heart" on the bench your leaning on

    Well done! It's just the question how much the second one must match.
