After seeing Mac Ghille Sheathanaich's thread about the pair of hand-knit hose that a local woman made for him, I just had to have a pair. He was kind enough to put me in contact with her, and I commissioned a pair of hose. I considered many different colors of yarn for the project, but ended up going with the same color he did... it's a good color.

Anyway, I am very impressed with her work. These are fantastic. They're THICK hose, with a double turn-down at the top. I'm thrilled, although I might not really want to wear them until winter. Temperatures are already in the 90s here in Texas, so they may be a little warm.

Here are the pics. Forgive me... I just got home from a 14-hour workday so my wits are not completely intact. I noticed after I took the pictures that I didn't fold down the tops far enough. And my garter ties were put on a bit sloppy. But you get the idea.
