Cheap and easy kilt pins
Greetings all,
My apologies in advance if this has already been covered, but I could not find it via the seach function.
I have seen kilt pins ranging from safety pins to hand crafted silver claymores with clan badge overlays. Usually I see the safety pins with a price tag of around $5 which I find a little excessive for a piece of bent wire. Last night, while my wife was knitting, I noticed something in her supply bag that caught my eye:

It is called a stitch holder and looks just like a standard safety pin, only larger. They range from one inch to eight inches long and are usually made of anodized aluminum so you could get one to match or contrast with your kilt. For the budget minded here comes the best piece of news, they can be found for $1 each without much effort.
For those who prefer the do-it-yourself method:

I hope this proves to be useful to someone.
