Do most people whom you meet ask about your kilt?

Anyway, I could search for a good site for instructions, but can you recommend one that looks particularly well thought out, Bubba?

Absolutely. http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/chegc/kiltsite/page2.htm . This is text instruction with a link at the bottom of the page to the diagrams.
http://www.scottishdance.net/highland/MakingKilt.html . This is another good one, pretty clear instructions.
www.folkwear.com has a great Scottish pattern set that has instructions for making a kilt and kilted skirt plus patterns for a Prince Charlie and vest as well as knitting instructions for Argyll hose and a ladies knitted vest. I have this set and it's very good.
