What's been keeping us busy

Image
Just a few snapshots of some things that have been keeping us busy lately. First some hand knit small argyle pattern cuffs for these House of Cheviot kilt hose, by my lovely wife. And a six yard box pleated Morrison tartan kilt I just shipped off to its new owner in Canada.    

Campbell tartan, Duke of Argyll's colors.

I just sent out this very special kilt. It is the ancient Campbell tartan, and over the years I have made many kilts in this tartan. However, this customer had a special request. He wanted the cloth to be woven in the colors favored by the current Duke of Argyll. This required a special weave, which I was happy to do -- I happen to know the mill where the Duke gets his tartan woven and they were happy to oblige my request for this order. Here is the Duke of Argyll displaying his tartan in these lovely light shades. And here is the kilt I just sent off in the post. It's a 6 yard knife pleated kilt, heavy weight fabric, all hand sewn as are all of my kilts.
