Congratulations, Paul - I saw the e-mail about this yesterday morning and, like Mookien, I thought it was elegant. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Regards,

Brian

Good luck with this, Nick! I'd love to have one (maybe more? :pray:) of my designs woven some day and a firm that will do small lots of cloth will help make it more affordable.

It's a bold move...

Supposedly a riposte when Lady Astor complained of his drunkenness.

Hmm...my result was only about 10% accurate and I nearly choked when it said I seldom verbalize. Most of my friends would actually testify to the difficulty of shutting me up! It also went into...

I've also seen the Canadian Maple Leaf and the Arms of the United States.

Brian

Glad to see you moving forward on this project, Mike. As you know, this was not my favorite of the setts we all kicked around with and for you on Scotweb, but it's your project and i hope it works...

My Dad (stepfather) passed away last July and as I design tartans for the sheer joy of it I wanted to memorialize him with a tartan. I call it Papa Harvey because his 17 grandchildren, and many...

I got that e-mail also, Ern, and I was very much impressed. It's a very elegant tartan, IMHO.

Brian

I, too, was taken with this doublet (the entire outfit, in fact), Sandy. I have never been a big fan of green, especially in quantity, but this is quite sharp to my untutored eye. I especially liked...

Classic! :rofl:

LOL, Jeff - thanks for the link - I've never served and that list was hysterical. Almost as funny is that some of the boys I have worked with and who are in, or are entering, the military would see...

Even using the main Google search field I am amazed at how often a post from X Marks shows up first when searching for anything related to highland wear and other subjects dealing with the various...

Vegetarians see bacon as a gateway drug :p

Hmm...as the owner of the old fashioned sort of beard and handlebar mustache I think I'll pass, but it is delightfully silly :lol:

Jeff,

Glad to hear everything went so well. I have known so many people who have had the same surgery and done splendidly afterward. I am sure she'll be happy with the results of this procedure....

I find this interesting, Peter, as everything I have read has indicated that local weavers wove patterns they liked with yarns dyed with colors they had easily available and that's what people in the...

Congratulations on your belle jeune fille! :piper: :hooray: :piper:

I can't really help you, but :welcome:

I've never used any myself, but Noodler's apparently makes permanent inks for fountain pens that gets rave reviews. They also have inks with special lubricants that supposedly help the mechanisms of...

Hmmm...post deleted...I don't know if it was my computer or the forum host but I went to edit my post and it was duplicated. Of course, there is the slightest possibility that I did something...

Glad you're OK, CDN, I thought about you all day.

Hmmm...Klezmer. I've always enjoyed Klezmer music. Do you have any recordings from this group available? It's good of you to share your talents here!

Thank you, Alan. The clarinet quintet has always been one of my favorites and you played it splendidly. :clap: Do you still play?

Thank you, gentlemen, for the incredible photographs. Scotland, indeed, has more than its share of natural beauty. I'm not sure how much credit is due the photographers, but it's hard to miss with...
