Hello I'm here for the hose

[string]

Hi I am string, I'm not a kilt wearer, but I am dating one. I'm using him as an excuse to learn about tartans and Kilt hose.

I knit, spin, weave and sew. Much of what I do is to supply my other hobby which is 18th century Reenacting, where I portray a spinster(a woman who spins, not unnecessarily an old unmarried woman) and a weaver. I'm not a very advanced weaver yet, but I hope to improve as soon as I have some time to breathe a bit. I'm fascinated by kilt hose, and since the knitting is a bit of an obsession I thought I'd join up to do some research on making kilt hose.

I am a full time student who is studying Anthropology and History. I live in Kentucky and which part of the state I'm in varies from month to month.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Welcome to the forum!

You and my wife would have a good bit in common. She also knits and has produced some very comfortable and warm kilt hose for me, not mention the sweaters and afgans to boot. She also sews and recently altered a tweed suit jacket into a kilt jacket for me.

She is a keeper! I just can't figure out why she keeps me sometimes, and then she says it would be too tough to break in a new one after 34 years.

Again welcome to the Rabble!
