Currently the Balvenie, Caribbean Cask, 14 year single malt. Delicious.

Thank you, gents.

My thoughts, as well, in retrospect, Peter.

Rich, oddly enough, the thought had crossed my mind and I dismissed it at the time. Now looking back you just might be onto...

Here's another design I've puttered around with lately. Thoughts?

Oh, my! The resemblance is uncanny! It's back to the drawing board then. What a pity. I quite like the design best of all the ones I've created thusfar.

Ah! Thank you for the heads up, sir. I love the elegance of the older styles but I can see your point, especially coming from someone like you who has probably seen every tartan under the sun!
...

Thank you, Richard. Very kind of you, sir. I'm using the Scotweb tartan designer. It's an excellent tool a wise investment on Nick's part.

I agree that they do have an old school feel to them....

Thank you, sir.

Not really a major consideration for weaving unless my family likes it and even then only at a later date.

If I did I'd like it to be a very large sett. I much prefer larger...

Here are two new designs that I played around with today. Simple designs with an "old school" flair.

What do you think?

They're not for any specific purpose other than fun.
...

Spot on, sir. That is, indeed, my MOS.

I'm Jonesing to be able to attend the Highland Games this summer but I've been on the government's GI holiday plan out of the country for a while and still...

Thank you, my friends, for your kind words and your feedback. I know that this is one of the best places to come for opinions with regard to all things tartan.

The first one was my first attempt...

Hello, Folks.

I've worked up three tartan designs for my upcoming wedding. I would appreciate any feedback that the Rabble might offer. I have a favourite but some objective and experienced eye...

Thank you, Dughlas Mor and David Pope, for your kind words.

No, the design didn't intentionally come that close but I do like that other tartan. I've never seen it before but it's very nice!

Yes, that's very similar. I quite like it. Thank you for helping me out. I'm thinking that I might need to broaden the blue and red lines in the green area.
What say the Rabble? I'm open to...

From top to bottom the thread counts are as follows :

Thank you, Mr Bradshaw.

I'm going to try to get to some better Internet tonight so that I can post an image of what I have so far for further review by the Rabble.

I'm glad that I took the...

So, here's the thread count copied directly from Scotweb's "share" tab.

I apologise for not posting an image. Our Internet out here us really sluggish.

Mr Bradshaw, very good to know. I was getting a bit confused with Scotweb's tartan designer. I was thinking that my sett was too small so I kept scaling it up and only saw part of the design.

Thank you, fellow X-markers, for your input and advice.

I've been working on a preliminary design but due to the limited Internet available whist I'm deployed it's a bit slow going. It is,...

And from a 14G I must concur. Rocky and his staff are top notch and his wares are outstanding.

:clap:

Thank you, sirs. Is there anything that I should keep in mind when designing said tartan? Form, thread count, things of that nature?

I would like to design a tartan to commemorate my upcoming nuptials. I would then like to have a kilt and some other items made. I'd like it to be heavy weight pure new wool. Knowing that it will...

Good afternoon, friends!

My lovely lass and I have decided to wed.

I am considering two things: either to commission a new kilt or to wear trews. I am leaning toward trews. What advice can you...

Thank you, friends, for the warm greeting and the information.

I'm stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. I'm looking for a Burns Supper in the area. Does anyone know of a decent one nearby?

Thank you, Rabble.

Steve Ashton,

I would like to host the quaich for my going away party prior to 01 November 2014.

I am shipping out for BCT at Fort Sill, Oklahoma in 03 November 2014.

Many thanks, Steve....
