I'll add this one to the previous list:

Of course when converting any of these to a taller kilt sock, you'll need to add some increase stitches in the calf area. This can be done on either side of the seam running up the back of the hose, or you can simply use a larger knitting needle when working on the calf of the sock.

I like this site....even though my wife has been knitting for most of her life, I think this might be just the ticket--yarn, pattern, and instructions all in one package and for a fairly reasonable price.

I am going to look into it.

Note the sizes! If I'm not mistaken, those kits are sized for juvenile highland dancers. However, I have also been tempted to get one. They are available through Highland XPress and other retailers.

I'm an apprentice sock-knitter (2 pairs completed). One of my beginner books has instructions for a basic flat-knitted Argyll, I'll report back if/when I try it out.

Right now I have a pair of Gainsford-inspired hose tops on circular needles. The book is also available at KnitPicks.
