camouflage kilt hose

[Pleater]

I have yarn in camoflage colours - it is just an ordinary space dyed yarn, but in a green/brown colourway.

I'll have to find it out - I bought a couple of pounds of it when I saw it, wound it into balls and then never did anything with it.

I do have some hose which are rather strikingly tiger striped, which are the result of knitting with the yarn doubled. They are boot hose and not intended for public viewing - they might frighten the horses.

I have a half done blanket in camoflage colours too - that is several different cotton yarns knitted at random. I wonder where that went.

The problem with having such a large stash of yarn (and other things) in a fairly large house is that it is all too easy to lose things, even quite large projects.

Of course if it was all tidy it would be harder for things to be mislaid...

If you can get space dyed yarn it would just be a matter of knitting a long 'single colour' sock - perhaps in rib so you would not have to alter the number of stitches so any colour effect would be consistent all down the leg.

If you could get fine yarns in the different colours you could make a patterned sock - with really fine yarns you could combine them in different ways and knit an argyle pattern. I buy industrial yarns, which are very fine and knit two or more together for interesting effects.

You could always tie-dye some white hose using green and brown dyes. Now that's a good use for all those horrid white hose you've got lurking in the back of your drawer!

Ah yes, the dreaded accumulation fairy at work again! I don't have that trouble with fabric, but my wife does. I have a problem with hardwood. . . . not enough to make anything really useful, but I just cannae bear to throw any of it away. . . . . An addiction at least as bad as the kilt one


Must get more wood . . .



Must get more tartan . . .!


HELP!!!

I too have lost projects around the house. There is a twice begun jacket that would be wonderful with a kilt, but I can't seem to find the parts. It was originally begun in 1985 and laid aside for a number of years, last seen around 2003.
