    Am I obsessed?

    I opened a birthday present from my wife on Tuesday. No, not “kilt related” items but I did get some hints that Christmas may be “kilt themed”. It was a NE Patriots robe and pajamas in a nice red, white and blue flannel. I loved it!!

    Later that night, as I sat watching television, I suddenly found myself folding over the robe wondering what the pattern would look like pleated!!!

    I think that is something we have all done at one time or another..

    Yes, you are obsessed, but we have all done it. I found myself looking at a tablecloth one evening in the same way.

    You can't fight it, just give in.
    Lose something valuable to you and don't know who can help?

    It's only an obsession if it interferes with your daily life. If your life is kilt/tartan/pleat related, then it clearly isn't interfering. Congrats, you're fine!

    Hmm...I'm thinking you are a future kilt maker (if you aren't one already!)!

    I don't see kilt making in my future!

    Tough enough to type with 10 thumbs - can't envision them sewing!

    I knew I was obsessed when I looked at my friend's shirt and said, "That's a nice Black Stewart." Everybody looked at me like I was crazy. I knew then my life would never be the same.

    Whats a little obsession between friends? I think we have all done the same thing at one time or another.

    Ooooh dear. Is this what my future holds?!
    (I'll not mention that I've used a table cloth and a big leather to work out how a great kilt worked when I was younger.)
