    Hehehe, thanks again, Barb. I was about to ask the "code" for that. I've been dismayed to learn that, depending on which set of patterns one uses there, the colors seem to change!

    Of course, it's up to the mill that weaves the tartan to decide what "blue" and "green", etc. actually mean. And it depends on what thread is available, too.
