Hamish Centennial Kilt Installment #3

[Barb T]

Hi all,

I haven't had Internet for the past week or so, but I've been working on Hamish's kilt. Here's an update with a few pics:

We took the ferry from Thorlakshofn in South Iceland to the town of Vestmannaeyjar on the island of Heimaey. The ferry trip lasts four hours, so I got quite a lot done on the kilt despite a stretch of really rough seas. In this first pic, I'm cutting out the pleats while we're still at the dock before we set sail.

You can see the ocean out the window in this one:



And, of course, Hamish's kilt got my standard American flag stabilizer:

Shortly after the photo above, I had to take a break, because we were crashing up and down over big seas, and I had to hang onto the window frame with both hands to keep from sliding around!
