Knitted and Fulled Balmoral #2

[John Henderson]

Last night, I finished the balmoral that I knitted and fulled for myself. This one in in "fern" (green) with a gold Double Lover's Knot. Like the one I made for my son, Luke, it is from Anne Carroll Gilmour's pattern (available for purchase from Ravelry.com).







I am very pleased with how this one turned out. I only wish I had done a little better job sewing on the ties. You can't see the sewing with the knot tied anyway.

The cockade is one from So You're Going to Wear the Kilt by J. Charles Thompson.

I have more construction photos, details and log on my Ravelry project page:
