Hose!

Exciting news: My hose arrived in the mail yesterday! Better yet, they are beautifully done. I am absolutely in love with them.

I have to admit, they are a little larger than I would have expected—then again, as my first ever pair of hose, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. From what I can guess, though, the hose are not designed to be stretched very far, as it would cause the stitching to become distorted and porous. I guess this is why they make hose garters, and luckily, I have some.

It’s going to take me a little bit to fully navigate my hose. They are a little too long but not noticeably so—although next time I think I’ll order them about a fourth of an inch shorter. Also, it doesn’t help that, due to a bone disorder, one of my knees is noticeably higher than the other. On top of that, because I have not been using my left leg for over a month and a half now, my left calf is over a fourth of an inch narrower than my right. Oh well, it will all even out eventually. Until then I’ll just make due with garters and a little extra stuffing.

More importantly, I love my hose! And now, more pictures.
