Hose beast

The boys gave me a gift card on my birthday, and I'm turning it into kilt hose. 


John Anderson's kilt hose, in Cascade Heritage

I am knitting them on size 0 needles. If that sounds small to the non-knitter, be assured that it is. So small that my ham fingers bend them into little arches that threaten to snap with every stitch. I have petitioned Santa for carbon needles. Those will not snap - only impale you gruesomely when you flop onto the couch. Then you get amazing x-rays for the photo album. Win-win.
