It's the siren song of ... knee socks. Margene hears it. Cara's singing it. I've been looking around and I've found several patterns for everthing from kilt hose to tights. Can you hear it?

YES! I've been desparately searching my stash to see if I have enough of any one sock yarn to make a pair. Won't they be perfect for fall?
Not I. I adore looking at them, but I know I'd lose interest mid sock. If not and I managed to finish one, the second would never be cast on.
But go ahead, I can admire from here and cheer you on :)

I volunteered to make Number Guy kilt hose - he declined. No socks for him. Ever.

I hear it loud and clear but knees socks on a 57 year ol' grrl....I think not.

Nope. Not until my calves are considerably smaller!

No. I don't care how pretty they are, I swore off knee socks with my 8th grade uniform and I'll never wear them again.

Uh huh!

I've heard it, but I'm trying to ignore it.

They are definitely *in* right now because I have people asking me to dye yarn for them! I can't wait to see them!

I'm hearing it too. I have some yarn my stash that's been screaming at me to be a pair of knee socks!

Perhaps for Her Ladyship. I don't think I'm a knee socks kind of girl.
Have you found any other kilt hose patterns, by the way? A friend of mine would like to knit a pair for her daughter who does Highland Dance.

I'm still working on my very first sock, so I think I'll hold off on the kneehighs & the tights for now. ;-)
