    A request to Anne the Pleater

    A question for Anne the Pleater. Do you want to make another bonnet? Next year, I'd like to wear Clan MacKay colors at the Highland Games. MacKay. A bonnet in this color scheme. Green/Blue/Black from the tartan below. That's MacKay.

    I think there's only two people I know that can do it. Anne the Pleater or Shane MacLeod.

    Sorry not to have replied sooner - I have been rather busy for a while due to that dreadful curse of having to earn some serious money rather quickly - thank goodness for Universities still being properly funded.

    I'd have a problem replicating tartan - the type of cap I make is usually a single colour - much like the fisher ganseys of the East coast harbours, blue, black, green, grey, brown but only one of them.

    I need to clear some messages out of my inbox as it seems to have overflowed, so you can contact me privately. I'd have no problem in making another bonnet type cap - either the beret or the bag shape - but incorporating the colours could be problematic in that it would not be traditional.
