    A wonderful gift

    I was having one of those days on Monday, I was sick, I was stressed, It was a long week and it had only just started. I went to check my mail and there was a a package from two lovely gentlemen, Alan H. and Cacunn, who are now my official heroes (other than the dashing Yeti of course).


    I have only had a chance to look at the first 10 pages in depth, but when I scanned through I got rather inspired to make lots of kilt hose, in many patterns and colors. So far the patterns are a wee bit old fashioned in their wording, but since the first edition was in the late seventies that is to be expected. As I progress in the book I will add more in my review, but more of all I want to extend my thanks to Alan and Cacunn for this lovely gift, it had perfect timing to cheer up a bad day.

    Well done gentlemen - well done indeed!

    By the way - is it ok to wear two different colored or patterned hose with your kilt... I guess I never knew...

    Sounds a lot like the people who used to give away books in the 80s. Here's a free book..... would you like to join our Kilt Cult.

    Fortunately, she had joined already when we got her the book!

    ....and a big contributor to the place she is, too.

    Besides, you know that Yeti is doing backflips down the hall, now that his girlfriend is gaga over knitting kilt hose. GOSH, and who might be getting some of that kilt hose?

    You'd a thunk he mightta bribed us to get the book....but he didn't

    I haven't even seen that darn book yet, and I am already nervous about what I may find, and instantly begin jonesing for.

    I just hope that those jonses may actually get fulfilled...

    I shall refrain from mentioning the effects of backflips in a kilt. Family friendly fourum

    Hope you get well soon, String, and glad for you getting a good gift.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Thank you, I am feeling much better, it was just a wee upset. But enough to make a rough Monday
