This is Tank. We adopted him and one of his sisters as rescued puppies 15 years ago. He is still getting around fine,...

I got the judging notes. The only point taken off was: Suitability for Intended Purpose - "Seems heavy to wear". I couldn't help but laugh.

I know the judge is a weaving judge and likely doesn't...

Attending a weaving conference in Victoria, BC. Here I am with Mag Coe, one of our instructors.

I finally have some photos of the kilt hose Steve made on the circular sock machine and the my hand-woven Scottish Wildcat kilt. And professional pictures at that!

Steve made the hose...

You might try https://www.allenedmonds.com/ They aren't cheap, but they are my new favorite shoemaker. They carry a decent range of boots in sizes up to 14 EEE.

I finally got a snapshot of my wingtip boots with kilt. The photo was taken at work on National Tartan Day.

I don't have a picture yet, but I recently got a pair of tan wingtip dress boots and occasionally wear them with my kilts. With the hose pulled up, just like I would wear with wingtip dress shoes. ...

Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone in Alaska making kilts as a business. But I can definitely recommend a few kilt makers. PM sent.

And here is a photo of me wearing the kilt hose from Steve's photo above.

But I am wearing them with my new X-Marks...

Happy Birthday, Steve.

I recently made a skirt/kilt for a lady. For all intents and purposes it is a kilt, but 40" long. I used almost 7 yards of 11oz fabric. It weighed a bit over 4 lbs when finished. The last I...

Fascinating thread. Thanks, Steve, for documenting and sharing this.

-6 C right now. Calm and partly cloudy. But we are under a winter storm advisory with heavy snow expected this evening. Typical Anchorage weather:)

I hope to have that kilt made before Kilt Kamp, but we'll see. I will either be wearing it or making it. If all goes to plan I will probably make a Sutherland of Duffus.

Please sign me up for Barb's class.

We pitched a tent beside a remote alpine lake in Montana. A wonderful couple of days!

Anyone else in a bow tie today? Show us your pictures!

At work with kilt and bow tie...

Ron's kilt is the Antarctic (with white as the primary field), and I bought it from him last year. It didn't quite fit me, but I found it a home with someone it did fit before I got around to...

I had a very nice hike at Eklutna Lake a few weeks ago. It was still a bit hazy from all the wildfires we've had this summer. And my Achilles tendon has been bothering, hence the walking stick. ...

I wove the fabric off the loom several weeks ago. And I wove a band to use as curtain tabs. The curtains are finally finished and hanging over the window.

Yeah, much better! Again, I apologize for the bad post.

Tanks, CDNSushi, for fixing it.

I enjoyed watching the whole parade, but I really enjoyed the pipe band. Not the best I've ever...

Tobus,

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm definitely not considering custom orders...yet. I need to get much more efficient at dressing the loom.

Usonian,

Thank you, too. I have looked at...

I tried to delete the offending link.
