argyle top kilt hose

A couple of kilt hose my wife made up, and the tartans they were created to match. One is for me, the other for a friend. I'm a proud husband, so of course I like showing off her work!

Gorgeous! She's a talented lady, Matt!

Those look great! Does your wife knit the entire hose, or just the tops? Does she do diced hose? Very impressive work.

Those are beautiful!

On these she just knit the cuffs and attached them to machine-knit bodies. But she can also knit the full hose, including diced. Here's a diced pair she made for me a while back in black and white.

And another pair she made for me in a smaller diced pattern called "shepherd's check" which I really like. One day I'm going to have to get her to make me more like this in other colors.

Matt, Your wife does BEAUTIFUL work!
What tartan is under the first picture of the new kilt hose? Looks alot like the Red Ulster tartan that is on my kitchen table awaiting buckles today!

Lucky man!

Cheers,

Thanks! The tartan is my own design, New House Highland.

Matt - I get the impression from your Feb blog announcement that the New House Highland tartan is restricted for your family's use. I can certainly understand that; but thought I'd ask anyway: will it be available in the future? It's beautiful!
