that just looks like self-striping sock yarn anyway.

go for the knee socks for $16. i know what you mean about wanting cool tights, though.

Do you have any "club" clothes stores? or maybe sex shops ;) I used to get really cute tights for "club kids" from those type of stores and since their demographicis historically poor they arre usually cheap

Make your own Pamela!
EZ has a pattern in knitter's almanac....well they are leggings but you could put feet on them...I really need to get my pair started.

Ack! 30 bucks! With my luck my big toe would go right through them the first time I wore them :goodgrief

I'm impressed anyone would make adult sized tights.

I barely have the stamina to knit toddler longies with bulky yarn...tights with sportweight yarn :faint

Those are cute! I love tights. I still might be able to fit into a girls size 14 or 16, but I'm short!

I think we may have to give awards to those who knit their own tights.

The new knitty has a tall sock pattern up. All you need are garters to hold them up!

I want that garter set! But I dont know if I have the patience to knit that for myself. I'm also very short.
