    Kilt Kamp has started!

    Steve with the Contemporary Kilt students. The tartans are Patriot and XMarkstheScot.

    Kevin and Harlan are already at it!

    Barb with the Traditional Kilt students. The bright tartan in the foreground is Buchanan.

    The first day of Kilt Kamp is winding down (although some die-hards may still be stitching away for a few more hours).

    MaryPenny and Steve taking measurements for a kilt.

    Barb and Brenda looking at pleating options for the Nicolson tartan.

    Part of Barb's "stash". Apparently she brought six kilts to work on while here.

    The tartan tights have not been awarded to anyone, although there have been some suggestions as worthy recipients! Here they are resting next to a circular sock knitting machine.

    Harlan and Chelsea pondering some stitching....

    Lucky Kampers!

    It seems to me that there is some seriously good pleating going on in the City of Gardens. Well done Kampers!

    I know that you will take away plenty of good learning from Barb and Steve's teaching, and enjoy Bobbi's hospitality and infectious good company. I really hope that Victoria BC is showing you a beautiful face, and for those of you who are going to (or maybe have already) take some time touring around that corner of the continent, I wish you many happy miles.

    But clearly I'm looking forward to the pictures and the stories of Kilt Kamp 2016, and the photograph of my successor in the terrible tights!

    Best wishes to all,
    Ian

    I have attended Kilt Kamp in the past. This is a great opportunity for all of you to learn a traditional and contemporary method of kilt making. Wish I was there with all of you. Have a fun week!

    Alas, Ian, someone in the Kamp (! Horrors) has hidden the tartan tights. We suspect one individual "He who cannot be named" but won't accuse without proof.....
