What's been keeping us busy

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.

Order Hiatus - an update

As can be seen on my main website , I have, since September of last year, put a hold on taking new kilt orders.  The primary reason is to allow me to catch up on my large backlog of orders.  For some time, the rate of new kilt orders coming in has outstripped the rate at which I can make them, leading to extended wait times for my customers (which neither they nor I are happy about).

However, it is slow going.  As most of my followers are aware, kilt making is not my full time job. While a full time kilt maker may be able to complete a kilt in 2 or 3 working days, my wor...
