My first Double-Box Pleated kilt

[meinfs]

Wow. That is a gorgeous kilt! Great job. Someday I'd like to learn to do that.

Unaspenser, thank you I'm sure you'll be able to. [I just recently started knitting. Heehee :]

Good luck on the knitting! I am an absolute addict. I think http://knittinghelp.com is really useful. It's got great instructional videos with just about every technique you could ever possibly need.

Nice job on the kilt! You could call the plaid "Weathered Kiltknitter" and make folks wonder where you got it.

Now if only you had a pair of handknit hose...

I love it -- it's now called the "Weathered kiltknitter" tartan.


An acquaintance of mine, after seeing pictures of my this double-box of mine, thought that it was the "Bear Tartan" (which is a registered tartan), because of the brown and tan stripes. I've just ordered the Bear Tartan from Chris (whom I've invited to join XMTS) and jonesing about getting the tartan fabric. Yes! I finally used the word "jonesing." I'll be making this friend of mine a box-pleat Bear Tartan Kilt in 16 oz wool. [yum]



Ooooh handknitted kilt hose --- I'm jonesing myself for own kilt hose....

Thanks. I know - that's a great site. Are you Ravelry?

You bet I am. My username there is Shekure. I have a couple of my patterns up there also, and hope to post some more soon. I'm actually working on a book... just gotta get my butt in gear and finish it!

Wow! You could easily become a full-time kiltmaker.

Beedee, thanks for the idea.


McFarkus, thank you. I'm honored. Thanks for the encouragement.
