Congratulations!!
I recently bought Barbs book too. Spent 4 days solid reading it cover to cover and doing further research on the few things that still were not clear to me. I promptly removed the tartan I was weaving from the loom and turned it into a scarf. Researching ahead with Barb's book gave me so much more insight into the whole process, including the tartan design elements I needed to achieve the effects I want in the final kilt. I redesigned the whole thing and am starting the weaving process afresh.
Barb's book is a must read for anyone contemplating making a kilt, or commissioning a kilt to be made. Understanding the process will effect all your decisions and make you a much happier camper at the end of the day. Thank you Barb.
BTW, if you haven't done it already, go to Barb's website and get the supplement to the book on traditional box pleated kilts! The gift that keeps on giving!
