Woah guys. That octo is a standard "Made in China" gew-gaw that you can find by the handful on etsy. Usually for a LOT less than $40.

Hey, good catch! That page also has this one on it, which I might like even better:

This looks like a decently large blanket/safety type pin. Dull & polish the point a bit and it should make for a pin that will nicely push between the yarn strands without damaging them. My main issue with most kilt pins I've seen is that the "pin" part is such a fine-gauge wire and so sharp that it makes damage to the fabric more likely.
