Thank you all for your interest. The sporran is sold and winging it's way to the new owner.

Much thanks to Peter for resizing the photos. Guess I gave up too soon!

MOD brass cantle sporran. $150USD plus shipping from Nova Scotia

The cantle is in excellent un-polished condition. The original bag is still attached, but is a bit brittle and the white has...

Looks like it was quite the party!

Those highland dancers are from Ottawa and I have danced with several of them many times. Small world!

Thank you very much, Trefor, for all your moderation efforts!

There is a Ladies of Xmarks group if you check under the Community tab. I don't believe that there's need of a separate forum section, but I can understand that some may wish to see one. What I do...

I'm out of the country next week - we're going to ICELAND, woooot! So I will not be looking at PMs until I get back. I'll see about getting better pics too if not sold by then.

On offer is one of 2 I've done over the long winter. Knit with 100% wool in a claret colour. The wool is from Bernat and not my usual Cascade 220, but the colours were amazing and it felted very...

Absolutely smashing!!

So glad it worked out for you. I check kijiji every so often for kilts and that one has been sitting there for months. Good to know it's gone to a good home.

If you...

Where does the Christina Young tartan sit on your list Peter?

You can drop the American bit. It seems that 98% of the world drives on the right.

I'd have to agree with one of the statements above. They do very much look like the remnants of stitching from buttons, now cut away. Perhaps there once was something that hung from the 2 possible...

Well, it's official. I won't be able to attend this year's KK. I'd promised the daughter a trip to Iceland which was pretty much bought and paid for over several months, but then my Dad had a heart...

Absolutely stunning tartan.

You boys should be proud of yourselves. I know we had a bit of a dustup in the original thread, but your final design was outstanding. The original thread was locked...

Let's see if I remember from your previous Tartan of the Month posts.

Single ply twill, nicely woven but threads are unevenly spun. So, spun by hand, woven by either hand or early machine loom? ...

Will the fly plaids be going with the kilts? If someone didn't want them that is.

Love them all. Joss et al. are crafty wise for sure. Like when Mrs. Reynolds comes back and they pull the heist, Mal ends up naked and we think he's been bamboozled 'cause he's sittin' naked in the...

I can still wire up an extension cord, fix my own taps and other basic household fixes from my 9 weeks of 'shop'. I also went on to take woodworking, plumbing and auto mechanics in high school...

Bonnet is sold!

Hand knit while watching episodes of Bones using Cascade 220, this is a white-toned bonnet. It's more of an eggshell or off-white, but not cream or ivory. Has a white poly-twill tape tie to customize...

Bonnet is sold!

This is not as full as the Outlander style and the blue is a bit darker. Cascade 220 is 100% Peruvian highland wool and felts amazingly well.

As a Registered Hobbyist, I can...

Now you can be one of the Blue Bonnets O'er the Border!

Hand knit while watching episodes of Bones using Cascade 220, this is a mid-blue heather colour. Has a poly-twill tape tie to customize the...

I've always enjoyed your posts Peter and thank you for your continued research!

London is in the Lake Huron snowbelt area and can get dumped on fairly often and would be a heck of lot more equipped for snow than Hamilton or Toronto which are situated in partial rain shadows. In...

Good thing you were able to find them outside of Canada.
