    Hi, Rev'd!
    now that I see your nick and sig, it seems to me that it was yours that message that I saw a while back when lurking, with the advice that I quoted.

    Yes, not overcomplicating things is good advice!
    There being so much that we can choose to either be nervous about and let our fears stop us, or instead just be plain decent in intention and deed, and move on to achieve.

    Thank you!

    Welcome, from Inverness-shire. Don't overthink your kilt attire requirements, certainly from the start! So one kilt, one smart shirt, one medium weight pullover, one pair of hose(green is a good start),perhaps, a plain sporran and strap and a sensible pair of black lace up shoes. That is all that is required for a start. Everything else can be added on quietly as your experience grows. Good luck!

    Oh and, HURRY SLOWLY!!!!!!

    Upon finding, after checking three times, that the warping of a loom is correct even the most agnostic weavers offer up thanks for small mercies and then set their minds on the weft...

    LOL five times!
    How did you know?
    I actually had to undo an inch and a half, because I wasn't paying attention enough to the weft. Oh, I did check that warp real good (accurate to the cartoon, but then the cartoon was wrong, so I'm learning, and all is good)
