    What a beautiful pattern! You are to be congratulated, those are some very fine hose you've made yourself.

    Man, is that ever one fine-looking pair of hose! GREAT job.

    I do have to agree that the pattern is more evident before
    being dyed. Perchance another pair worn undyed. Much of
    the anti white/cream vitriol spewed randomly about the forum
    is related to their making it look like rented kit. NOBODY
    could ever in their wildest dreams imagine you could rent
    something so fine.

    Thank you. But I have to say of all the hand-crafts I do,.. I think knitting has got to be the easiest! It's merely pulling loops through loops, either front to back, or the reverse (purls). And keeping them on the needles! lol

    After that, it's just a bit of manipulation of those same stitches,.. and after all, if children and little old ladies around the world can manage it, most anyone can do it, too. Seriously, you can, too.

    If you wish/want to, then do it.

    Happy to assist, if you need some guidance.

    Getting down off my soap box,..
    Best,
    Doug
