I was sitting here eyeing the chaos in my "office" and this came to mind. Since I started wearing the kilt I've picked up several new skills.

Sewing-I've made one traditional kilt and two canvas ones. Hemmed and repaired numerous others. Made a lot of flashes.

leatherworking- made several belts and sporran straps. Sporrans are next.

Diplomacy- dealing with questions and THE QUESTION.

Fashion- what goes together and what doesn't.

Knifemaking- Started on my first sgian dubh.

To add to the "insanity" I'm in negotiations over a used loom.


What have YOU picked up/learned since you donned the kilt?
