    Hi londonpiper,

    From what I can see - they are very good. You knitted them yourself? If so, how long did it take you? Looking forward to a better pic.

    Regards

    Chas

    Ah yes, the joys of taking pictures under incandescent lights. Yellow lights with blue hose make for an interesting shade of green!

    The hose themselves look marvelous and I am looking for a shot outdoors to show their entire wonder!

    I really like the texture they have as opposed to the some of hose that look like gigantic dress socks. Great job!

    Woo hoo! Well done, sir!


    I can well appreciate the investment of time, as I have won through and finished some of my own.

    Those look like very nice hose. Can you tell us what stitch pattern you used?

    Really, really, really nice! I envy you your craft. Am learning so I can do as well. I second that you might share the stitch info with us, maybe even the pattern if it is online.
