I purchased through dealers, so I'm only told by them that she's in Wisconsin or thereabouts.
I believe that I have heard of her. For me, that's a someday thing. I would love for her to knit me some hose. First I have to decide if the five-yard in Armstrong Ancient I'm currently wearing will be my formal kilt for good. I'm thinking that someday I will want an 8-yard from USA Kilts but I'm not sure what tartan (Armstrong Ancient? I love it but if so, then what do I do with the five-yard from Higgins? Guthrie? But that's not my primary clan affiliation. Armstrong Modern? But all my other stuff is geared toward ancient colours, Freemason Universal? But I have a clan society membership... etc.) so I think I'll hold off on bespoke hose for now. But thanks!!
