    New handknit tartan hose!!!

    Hello all!

    I posted a thread about Valeria making me tartan hose some time ago...

    Now the odd thing comes;

    I had told my family ages ago that I'd like to have tartan hoses sometime

    and a friend of the family knit them for me - in secret

    So now I got a pair from that friend O_o

    So here they are!







    Don't they look grand?

    Daniel

    They do indeed look grand, good for you, what a nice gesture by the family friend.

    WOW! Stunning.
