My Wife Rocks with an eye for color

**Spartan** · 1st March 09, 03:20 PM

The kilt that I've been showing off was a Christmas present from my wife -- ordered before Christmas, arriving a couple of weeks ago. She wanted to put something under the tree to surprise me, so she bought a sweater to go with the kilt. She guessed at the color, since we had only seen the computer generated picture of the tartan from the Scottish Tartan Authority website. This is a picture of how it came out. Keep in mind that the standard lovat greens and bottle greens do not go with the green in this tartan.

For the benefit of Todd and Todd, here's a collared picture.

BTW, the picture was taken today, March 1, St David's Day. The temp is 84F (29C), and the orange tree is beginning to blossom, still with this year's fruit on it. You can smell orange blossoms in the air. Spring in Phoenix, Arizona.

And, my amazing wife is working on a pair of kilt hose (part of the hose knitting project that Joan started). They are lovat blue to go with my Clark tartan.

VERY nice on the match. I really love the spare look of just a simple sweater and kilt. This one just may have to go into my collection of awesome ensembles.

But...

The temp is 84F (29C)

Dood - it's too warm for a sweater! Turn the air conditioning off!

Regards,
Rex.

Yeah, how can you wear a sweater in that heat?

My compliments to your wife and her good taste!

Cheers

The sweater went on for the picture, and then off again! I figured that I had better get this picture taken before it got any warmer. We're just about done with sweater season around here, although nighttime lows are down around 55F (13C). Sweater season here is December and January.

Wonderful picture, and great colour coordination you look great, lovely looking hose to be as well.

That looks very nice, Frank. I was going to ask the same about the sweater- today's sure not the day for one here- darn it. Makes me feel like summer is going to be here toooo soooon.
