As always, you amaze me.

That's a very interesting paper. I have to make a link to it on my tartan.no sites.
Skål!

Just wondered if people understand terms like off-set pattern and balanced warp or whether I need to explain them further, perhaps as a glossary?

I think a glossary would be a great idea. BTW thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge figheadair

+1, yes, please. You can never have too much knowledge.*

I see that I actually covered an awful lot of the information in the glossary for my 1819 KPB. It's undergoing a major rewrite in preparation for a 2nd Ed next year so I might wait until then and work on some other papers instead.

Terry, don't you sleep?

I'm working on a paper on old plaid settings and joining techniques. Then I'll do the Rob Roy reject.

It's -9 here this morning and has been sub zero for nearly a month
