Needles, size 2 US, two small circulars. Yarn was a combination of Schaffhauser Baby superwash with wooly nylon carried through.

I ripped out several times. First, a couple of times I could see that the pattern was wonky, so I ripped back. Second, the calf was too small, so I ripped back. I was working on these from time to time over a period of three months.

I have been knitting for over fifty years, mostly Icelandic-patterned sweaters. The shaping involved for these hose was a challenge I took on just this year, when I agreed to marry the Kilted One.
