Wretched Excess, and String the knitting Thing

[Cynthia]

I haven't read the whole thread. I only looked back at the previous page to see the photos there, but these look so nice! I've tried knitting, basically learning on my own. I fumble at anything other than simple scarves. I would love to be able to make something like that for my husband.

I'm looking forward to seeing more photos -- excellent job!

They really are not very difficult. The basic skills you would need to make a plain pair of kilt hose would be knit, purl, working in the round and increase and decreases. hats are good projects to practice and work up to socks I think.

I'll have to pull out my books and knitting supplies sometime and give a hat a try to see if I can work up to something like that. They'd probably also go a little quicker than the long scarves and blanket I was working on when I got burned out and bored.

Thanks for the tips

Giant oatmeal cookies with butter, honey, and cinnamon on top are nice too..., but I don't think you can knit those.

Um... I'll just hop back over here and dive in my hole before String picks me up by the ears. EEK!

String, Those hose's are absolutely amazing!!! I believe AlanH will wear them for a week straight once they arrive.

I may hit you up for a pair of those for myself.

They would be quite stinky.

Make that 25 rows left. I did a repeat of the cable pattern just now (only took over an hour to do) and perhaps I will do the last later, or tomorrow.
