    One of the kilts that I was working on during Kilt Kamp is in the Lamont Heather tartan, which many of you admired. I've finished the kilt and talked with the customer to ask him a little more about the tartan, and he sent me a picture of the area in Scotland that he thinks might have inspired the unusual colors in the tartan (pale moss green, heather purple, and dark brown). Below, you'll see the tartan plus the photo he sent me.





    How amazing is that?

    And I made a post in a different section of the forum on the interesting weaving surprise that I had when I laid out the kilt: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...79#post1187179
