finished knitted garters

Very glad I'm finished with these! I'm a bit tired of garter stitch now.
This is the pre-blocked photo - all about 18-20" long. 
The third set, below the ruler, are tapered in the middle, trying to reproduce the look of the example at MoL.

four sets of garters Black silk/angora, and red/brown wool. All sets are straight, except set directly below ruler, which are tapered in middle.
