Knitting by campfire sounds delightful, however, for me it would be a bit scary...I need lots of light to knit and I sure would hate to have my yarn near a fire unless contained in some sort of knitting bag! Mostly it would be about not being able to see in such low light.

I think there are a few errors in John Anderson pattern but nothing that I ever wrote down, I just corrected as I knit. I am currently making another pair of kilt hose (my design) for Tommy to match his Aran sweater-both of yarn I have spun myself and also on the needles, but set aside waiting for a time when I have fewer interruptions, is a pair of the fabulous He Mo Leanan Kilt hose by Anne Gilmour! I'm knitting them in dark red 3 ply Merino. Lots of cabley pattern so they really show off men's legs to the best advantage and of course, look terrific with the kilt!
