New Year's Day Hike

[Spartan]

It is an wool aran sweater, which according to the tags was made in Ireland. My wife bought it for me for Christmas. Very nice and cozy!

And yes, good eyes. That is a mermaid kilt pin. Picked it up on ebay. Not too heavy at all. I wore it to my recent kilt night and one of the waitresses went crazy over it. Apparently she has a thing about mermaids.

Thanks for all the kind comments. It was certainly a great way to start the year.

Very nice Christmas present! My wife went off to her knitting shop and actually found the pattern for that Aran sweater! So, it may not be this year, but there's one in the future for me. Not only that, she found out that the knitting shop has a Scottish lady who will be teaching a class on knitting socks. I feel some kilt hose coming up.

Looking good.
Weathered McKenzie is one of the tartans which I also wear.
Your rigout blends in well with the surroundings for the hike.
