Ta-da!

Success is mine! With more than a week to spare!


I may still do a little decorative edge at the top, if I feel like it, but they're done and wearable.

Now on to spinning!

100th post!

I had kinda hoped that my 100th post would feature the kilt hose completed, but alas, they are not. They may be by the end of the day, though. . . .

As of today, the heel has been made and turned, and the gusset has been gusseting down. Jeff loves them and so do I! I think I really do need to make another pair, but a little bigger. That way I get these, and Jeff gets a pair that's just a little larger. They'll work fantastically for the wedding, though.

And with that, I"ll leave you with a picture of a dog with a baby.

Real Progress!

I wasn't able to get a picture last night, we were simply exhausted by the time we got home, but I made progress last night on the way to karate and tonight both at Jeff's school and on the way to karate.



Total length : 9 inches

Decrease rows remaining: 8!!!

Length remaining before heel: 5"

Days remaining: 16

I can totally do this!


mmm, sexy leg

A little less progress. . .

Here's how much I got done on the kilt hose last night, after karate:

Two more sets of decreases, and a total of 7 rows. Decreases remaining: 13

I didn't have a chance to measure it. Why, you ask?




Callay decided she wanted to cuddle.

Sexy decreases!

Sexy decreases required: 18

Sexy decreases completed:3

Total length: 5 1/2"

Length remaining (minus heel and foot): 9 1/2"

Days remaining: 19

A little math - Gauge is 7 rows /inch. For a rough estimate of total length, Jeff's leg and foot measure 17 linear inches. So that means 189 rows. I have approximately 40 rows done so far, plus the cuff at the top (which took a long time, probably a good 10% of the work just by itself).

Kilt Hose Progress!

I got a lot done on these over the weekend! Cuffs are done, the ribbed garter is done, and I"m about 1/2" away from starting the sexy decreases down the leg.

By my calculations, I need a total of 16" before starting the heel tab. So if I make a goal of 1" per night until the decreases are done (at which point I make a goal of 2" per night), I should be looking good to have them done in plenty of time for the wedding!

Love is. . .

Making a pair of kilt hose for a man with a 14 1/2" calf.

Progress so far: 5" of cuff.



Time to complete: January 26.

I can do this!
