Schottische Kilt Hose

I'm finally posting pics of the kilt hose in progress, crappy though they may be (the photos not the hose). The pattern is from Nancy Bush's "Folk Socks." They are very cool. I'm knitting on Addi Turbo US 2s, which are actually 2.5s (still don't understand that). The yarn is Bare from Knit Picks - fingering weight merino wool. Since hubby is a giant, I have added a pattern repeat and am knitting at a slightly looser gauge.
