    New hand made hose!

    Here they are! My mom finished making me kilt socks with a classical Finnish pattern! I think it looks pretty good, or what do you think?

    I do so love blending and bending cultures.

    Your mother may soon be wealthy if she wants to keep on knitting.

    Those are AWESOME! I'm with Ron. I like to mesh cultures together.

    Finnish is a very difficult language but those socks need no translation!

    Very nice!

    Thanks, I'll send a copy of this to my Mom and see if she gets the hint. O'Neille

    Those look great

    You really can't beat hand knit kilt hose for both look and comfort.

    I'm amazed at what amazing heights some people are able to take the art and craft of knitting.
