Very nice indeed! And I love that your lady is on Ravelry - that's where I found out about XMTS. I was looking for a good sock pattern and found a beautiful pair of kilt hose. The pattern creator mentioned the x-kilt, and viola! Here I am! I'm also getting ready to start a new pair of fingerless mitts for my husband. I have quite the Christmas list for him - fingerless mitts, earflap hat, and an x-kilt! Would your wife mind you sharing her Ravelry user name so I can look her up?
