Flashes, sporrans and... facial hair?

[Arlen]

Well, with a lot of time on my hands getting ready to leave for the U.S and get married, I knitted myself some traditional garter ties and made myself a 'Jacobite' style sporran.

I'm pretty happy with the results.


Here are the flashes:






Here are the purple ones modeled with my NEW Pride of Scotland kilt.





And here is the sporran:





I'm happy with all of them. None took particularly long to make and I still have wool in almost every colour.
I guess I'll have to buy more kilts so that all the flashes I can make will match!

They look great Arlen, but what's this about facial hair?

[pipesndrumsnun]

Excellent work!!

Oh. I forgot to post that bit.
Just that at the age of TWENTY FOUR I finally managed to grow a decent pair of sideburns.
Finally.

I've seen your piccies. You still look like you're about 14...


Can you knit yourself a big mustache?...

Just kidding. The flashes and ties look great!

Good for you! I'm 45 and still can't pull that one off.

Congrats on the sideburns. I love my mutton chops.

Where are the pics of those?

You know, I still sometimes get offered a half fare on the bus.
And then go to the pub and don't get I.D'd.
How it goes, I guess.

I would call that the BEST of both worlds!
