They’re done, and I will miss them, but the person they’ve been custom made for will be more than happy I hope, so I will send them off to Northern Ireland, and they will be ready when his kilt cloth gets off the loom and is being sewn into his kilt in Glasgow. It was very nice to partake in a custom of Scottish tradition, and I must add , thanks to Maureen for her help teaching me the heel turn and other aspects of sock knitting! (all posts about this project here, and details on Ravelry here. )

YAY! You did it! Love them!
They are beautiful, Jen. And that “Morrie” is the gal, isn’t she?

What a handsome pair of kilt, knit in such perfection. You are amazing, Jen. Still can’t believe they are sent off far over the ocean and not staying on your feet!
Beautiful! And congrats for being stubborn enough to work through all the new techniques!
Those are amazing!!!! Well done, I love that they are going to a friend whose kilt is currently being woven. So authentic!
