First pull the sock up past your knee, then place the garter elastic round the narrow part below your knee & fasten, remember to tighten the garter so that you feel the tension on your leg, this will keep your sock up & help to keep your sgian dubh in.

	Now pull the top of the sock over the garter.

	The correct sock to put the sgian dubh in depends on which hand you write with, speed of access to the knife is all important, opening letters, cutting the beast open (Haggis) left handers, left sock, right handers, right sock, in line with the garter.

	Push the sgian dubh into your sock, so that the only 3" is visible above the sock

	Put a shoe on, tighten the laces as normal.

	Do a normal twist at the lace bottom.

	Tighten the lace, put your fingers at the top of the lace where the tassels are.

	Now cross over the lace at the bottom, by alternately putting each lace into the opposite hand.

	Do this for a total of six twists, then tighten so the twisted part is 2" long, don't let the lace slacken.

	Now put the lace round your leg and then to the front.

	Tie a normal lace now.

	Tighten, but not to tight so as to cut your circulation, now double knot.

	Nice job, well done!
