    One Year of X-Kilts; chime in!

    I wrote the Original X-Kilt instructions during July 2006, and posted the current "semi-final" instructions on November 8th. Anyway, there's been X-Kilt instructions up there for the world to see for just about a year. My last casual account suggests that about 60 X-Kilts have been made, that I know of.

    First of all....to all you guys and gals who have downloaded and sewn them up...and especially to Tartan Hiker and the F-H.C.A.G who have been just as much on-line "Help" to new X-Kilt makers as I have, THANK YOU. I never thought that nearly this many of you would take on making an X-Kilt.

    Let's do a current X-Kilt count. If you've made an X-Kilt or two or three or six, chime in here and let us all know.

    Alan H...I've made 5 of them (two more in the works, but just gleams in my eye, yet)

    Excellent, Fluter! I want to see pics of the second one when it's done!

    A quick review of the "Post Your Pics" forum back to March, just searching for titles that contained the word "X-Kilt" reveals the following...

    37 X-Kilts made by, in no particular order...

    Alan H, fluter, FHCAG, Tartan Hiker, Raven USA Razbarry, DWMoffat, alhrensblade, Rackhound, ScottEPooh, Blazn, Adam, off-kilter, gerald_G, Moosedog, Rx-Rex, BeeDee, Yeti, Jim H, Doomsday, Kilt2def, Papi Moffat...and that doesn't include a number of others that I know are arout there like Mowgli and keepoffgrass's kilts.

    37 X-Kilts in 8 months! Not bad for a casual knock-off project!

    That makes 40!

    several hours later, whilst waiting for Networking Services to restore gigabit ethernet to the server room....
    Actually, further perusal of the X-Marks archives brings me up to 52 X-Kilts (Ian, Thomsec, Doc, Perldog, JWesco and I know I'm missing at least 2-3 more) , with two more on the table from Irishman and Lady Griffin.

    I've made a practice one, a "real" one, and am going to start on one for a friend as soon as my fingers recover from 6' of hand-stitched waistband
