Time for a New York State tartan?

[Brian K]

For these HONY's, I like the original "bluish" blue better than the "purplish" blue. Amble's pic isn't showing up, but I doubt if I'd care for a white overstripe.

Honestly, I still like the original muted version with the brown and gray best, but will defer to the majority...!

Thanks, Brian, I appreciate the compliment. I do, however, like the idea of having a "regular" and a hunting tartan more and more. There are millions of people in our great state and why should we not offer a choice?

Amble asked me to post her design with a white stripe:



Bear in mind Amble's warning about designs with more than 6 colors. She has ordered cloth recently and full well knows the upcharges. For 7 colors it's just as much as if you order s design with a special color. It might not be a good idea to ensure that our design is, by default, more expensive than other cloth.

I hesitate to show it here, but another option for white would be to substitute white for another color altogether and make a dress or dance type tartan. I chose to use white in place of green because when it snows here most of the green disappears . When you see it you'll understand why I hesitate - white is a hard color to work with in a tartan!



We have more food for thought!
