    I’m having trouble sending photos I was trying yesterday all afternoon
    I’ve put 2 attachments above I don’t now if you could download them
    If you can’t go on google type in Aran he’ mo leonan kilt hose you’ll see them there if you can’t download the attachments above of course
    I got a pattern of google from a site that does knitting patterns there isn’t anybody in Scotland that does patterns for them
    Anyway there’s a little knitting shop in Kinghorn where I stay there making them made to measure I was at the shop on Friday getting my feet measured
    Now here’s the hard bit there costing around £100 when you see them you’ll understand please get back in touch and tell me how you got on by the way where are you from

    The pattern that the He'Mo socks are based on are those developed by John Anderson.

    There is a free pattern available on Ravelry for anyone who is a good hand knitter.

    What about these that Rocky sells!

    Similar ones are offered by scotweb, another vendor here, they offer a wider variety of colours.

    Funny that’s where the pattern came from can’t remember the name of the site I got it off
    The lady that’s going to knit them has been working out the pattern so she’s ready to get them started
    She says it’ll be about three to four weeks before there finished
    Have you ever seen anybody wearing these socks I’m getting?
