Ah. I've been considering knitting some garter ties myself.

And to get my own thread back on topic, I did try wearing my sgian a bit higher the other day and it was much more comfortable. I actually had more trouble getting it OUT of the sheath than IN, but that's probably a sign that I won't be losing it easily.

I'm finally attending my first kilt night (well, afternoon) this weekend and I'm not sure if I want to wear the knife out. I won't have much reason to use it and I can always just toss a small folding pocket knife in my sporran.
