Hi Susan,
It never occured to me that females would not be welcome, so I just lurked and then barged in. I figured that I like men in kilts, and I knit kilt hose for my handsome kilted men, and that was reason enough to join. Also, I have to work to help support my husband's kilt addiction. Many of the sites for kilts have nice sections to women, too. We may not wear kilts, but we can get some beautiful tartan garments.
