Greetings and salutations!

Hello there!
My name is Caleb and I live in NE Ohio. This past July, at a Homeschool Alumni get-together my family hosted, was my first time in kilt since I was 4 years old, when I was infatuated (as much as a 4-year old could be) with Scotland, kilts and bagpipes. In fact, I told my parents that I wanted to 'be a bagpipe' I know better now, of course, how physically impossible that is.
Anyway, the kilt I wore belonged to a friend, Gabe, (Hothir Ethelnor) who attended the gathering, and I loved it!

Several weeks ago, I made a trip up to Gabe's house, and with his instruction and help, I made my own kilt, (knife pleated, Caledonia tartan.) I am now looking into accessories. I have a Caledonia waistcoat cut out and partially sewn, I'm still trying to decide whether I want pockets or not...I hate decisions like that...

Anyway, I live with my family, I have five siblings, (3 brothers, 2 sisters), and I'm the second oldest, (brother and child, hence my username.)

I enjoy promotional video editing (only a hobby at this point), sewing, reading, writing, drawing and social networking (that last one, perhaps a bit too much, my mom would say...and I would have to agree with her...).

I look forward to learning more about what's what in the world of kilt-making and -wearing. I'm an old hand at online forums, but a newbie at kilts, so I'll do my best, and any advice would be most welcome.

Blessings,
~2nd

Welcome from Inverness-shire. Advice? Don't take anything I say seriously, apart from the welcome bit!

And having seen the photo of the Caledonia in your album you have done a very good job on your first kilt under the tutelage of Hothir (Gabe)!
