    For info,
    As of posting, The Scottish Weaver has 2 "remnants" of 4 yard worsted MacFarlane for $89.


    Now, what would ya'll think of me getting some with only the most tenuous connection (Wilson is listed as a sept, but is usually tied to Gunn for certain historical reasons)? That is a hard deal to pass up . . .
    PLEASE buy it before I am forced to . . .

    anyway... this is how I was dressed to go to a musical recently, in Louisville.

    That's an excellent kilt, well done!

    If I ever learn patience and organisation I'll have to have a go at making a kilt...... would probably be a disaster though. My Mum retires in five years maybe Ican encourage her to start a new hobby with me......
