    Gotta brag!!

    I got this killer gift in the mail from my Aunt Cathy today- it's an 18oz worsted wool day plaid in Black Stewart tartan! She told me that she got it like 20 years ago when she visited Scotland. I didn't know she had anything even remotely like it! What a great gift.

    OK. Back to our regularly scheduled program.

    You know that means you have to buy a 16 Oz wool kilt in that tartan now. Congratulations.

    Here are the pics:





    And no, Ted, I am not going to wear it as a rag- I was thinking that it's very absorbant and thick, so it would make a better diaper.

    And to answer the kilt question- NO WAY!! I would die if I wore this thing as a kilt! I have a natural heater in me somewhere as it is (I think I swallowed a space heater as a child) and I would cook in it! It's got to be 18oz cloth. I do, however, have an SWK Black Stewart. It's one of my favorite tartans and my wardrobe would simply not be complete without one.
