I still use the tried and true (and, yes, somewhat time-consuming) method
of basting through the pattern, leaving loops, and then cutting the treads

They are hideously expensive, but are almost indestructible. I think they are
called compression socks, or some such, and they can be found in the travel

I agree with Robin: the wimple could solve all the problems, and oddly enough,
they are comfortable. Plus, the undergarment can be cut relatively high; we

so-so in the trustworthiness department.
