Sorry- couldn't open any of your attachments.
I figured it might be Elsie!! She is my co-author and the person I learned kiltmaking from. She offers a _wonderful_ kilt camp. If you can get to Lake Tahoe, go!!

In the past, she's done camps in Minneapolis, but I don't keep track of her schedule (I can barely keep track of my own!!!), so I don't know if she's still doing them there.

Thanks a lot, Sherry!! Who woulda thought that your short post, in small script, could cause such pain over an extended period?
Actually, were it not for your post, this would have gone right past me. It was a happy discovery to find that kiltmaking is taught outside the borders of Scotland. That would be an expense I simply could not afford, but this camp is something to look forward to. Thanks.

It's here! It's here!
The jonesing is over... the wait is finished... stage fright takes hold now.
Elsie called me yesterday to talk me out of using the X Marks The Scot tartan for my "first" kilt made with her traditional methods. I gather that her reasoning is to go with first class material from proven mills, tartans that she has worked with before. Why throw unknown variables into the procedures just being learned?
Fair enough, says I. I have two or three kilt lengths of other tartans, all from Locharron mill. So I'll go with Weathered MacLaren 16 oz pleated to the stripe.
Not to worry, the XMarks tartan will follow shortly after... honest... even after reading Steve's advice to aspiring kiltmakers. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...4&postcount=14
Wish me luck. (Oh... oh... <hyperventilate> What to wear? What to wear?)

Kilt Kamp
Where does one findout about kilt kamps? I'd love to go, to learn. Too bad this camp is so soon and begins on the date of the Spokane Highland Games—you knew I had to get that in.

I'm not sure how to answer your question directly.
The original message was posted January 30th by Sherry, who seems to be one of our official "news scanners." This particular camp is sponsored by a pipe band and accomplishes at least two things: 1) raises funds for the band and 2) allows participants to become kilted more easily by developing kiltmaking talent. It has been run annually for a few years, so it may come around again next year.
Also, the Vancouver kilt kamp for XMarks, originally contemplated for June 2006, has been moved off to 2007. (See
http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...3&postcount=12)
I'm guessing there might be more training of this kind in Canada rather than the U.S., so you might look northward.
