Re: Diced hose....
Sorry, no pictures yet, but I've two pairs of diced hose, one "triced" IoS from SkyHighland OUtfitters and the other in ancient green and blue (to match my ancient Douglas and MacDonald kilts) from John at Keltoi (great value, high quality for the price IMHO). Each pair is as described designed to be worn with a single turnover cuff of exactly one vertical pattern repeat---any more or less and they actually begin looking almost comical. Good news is that both pairs are of heavyweight enough yarn that there is still enough bulk to the turnover to be able to appreciably see the difference, kind of halfway between the thinner versions and the buly hose like piper's or Lewis hose. My tendency is to roll up my flashes one turn or more so that I do not have excess flash length hanging below the slightly shorter turnover, just enough flash to see maybe a half inch of the fabric part and another half inch of the frayed tip. Any more an it does exaggerate the relative shortness of the diced hose turnovers.
