Kilt Hose Progress

[room2ndfloor]

I don't know how anyone gets the length right if they knit from the leg down. I can only do it from the toe up, so that I can try it on and compare the two socks.

You can knit two at a time on cable needles, then they're both the same length.
I know a lot of people who swear by this way of knitting for hose/socks. You also do not get the "one sock syndrome" that way. Personally, however, I'm a fan of double pointed needles and I like to knit one at a time the old fashioned way...toe up or top down, doesn't matter to me and my trusty tape measure!

Can't wait to see the hose!

Absolutely beautiful. Love the colours and the cable stitch.
