What do you do....

Ohhh...

I was hoping the next line was "With a drunken sailor"

Seriously though, the wait is always the worst part. If you do consider taking up knitting you would be killing two birds with one stone.
1) eating up your free time learning a new skill
2) now you can knit your own kilt hose- AND save all that $$ spent buying them for more kilts to start waiting for again

Hmm...

I have drunkenly sung that song way too many times!

As far as the "jonesing"

Hallucinogenics.

I would be tempted to, but I already have a loose grip on reality.

I started working on a new sporran--one of my "Tactical/Practical" ones, but it just gets me thinking and anticipating their arrival, especially since this one should look really nice on the Oakliegh tartan.

My wife is working on a beaded pin and sporran, Lakota style, to go with the American Heritage tartan. It's just one of the perks of being married to an art teacher who teaches on the Rez. The other is getting a bus for practically nothing(a little work for one weekend on my part) that will be converted to an RV. That's for another forum though.

I have a few extra bucks...maybe I'll get that new tartan I saw at Stillwater's website.

On the other hand, I might order up some camo material and start making yet another kilt. That will get me through the next week if I survive the anticipation of waiting for that package.

Of course, a six pack of Guiness will get me through for a night.

I'd be fine if I had not been born without the patience gene.

Now that’s thinking on (or for) your feet!

Order another kilt from Stillwater, you will be so excited when your kilt arrives 10 minutes after you hit the enter button, that it will relieve the "jones"....

Pretty much what I do for every other thing I need a distraction from-Smash my pinky finger with a hammer.

Works for a few hours, at least

At least it isn't like the old days...Feed and monitor the sheep for 6-9 months, battling wolves, weather, and raiders....Sheer said sheep, prep wool, dye, weave, etcetc...Deal with the wife who swears up and down you should sell the yardage and buy her a new dress and bonnet...

Well now that you put it that way...what am I belly-achin' about?

Well I'm on my 4th month of waiting for my new kilt. I'm now focused on making a few sporrans. One pelt is here and really trying to focus on how to make the sporrans from it. till the next pelt gets here. Every so often i grab another piece of kit or material to go into the sporrans. hopefully by the time its done i'll have at least one ok looking sporran.
