    New Garter Ties for the Isle of Skye

    Today I received a new set of traditional garter ties to match the Isle of Skye tartan. I must say I am very impressed with these, I've never quite seen any hand knit garter ties like them, they match the Isle of Skye very well I am sure that they will garner attention on their own. Here are some photos

    Very nice McMurdo, you always have such nice accessories for your kilt. The colours look like they match very nicely.

    Nice - sort of an "isle of Skye" Ancient.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    Wow Glen!

    They're fantastic mate! I've been toying with the idea of making my own garter ties... and now you've shown me how to do it Brilliant. Such lovely colours too. Really compliment the kilt perfectly. Subdued and classy.

    Before you judge someone be sure to walk a mile in their kilt.
    That way you are at least a mile away and you have their kilt...

    Very nice garter ties and they match the Isle of Skye very well! If you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase them from?
