    I didn't tell her about Hamish!

    Got 4 and working on my fifth.

    To answer your question... not, 20 to 30 ISN'T enough... I have 35 now and I still find myself looking thru swatch books lusting after more. I also find myself getting "bored" with some and wearing others almost 4 or 5 times as much...

    You know you're REALLY getting bad when you have 1 tartan pleated to the stripe and you get another one pleated to the Sett.... just in case you want to "change it up" a bit (:rolleyes: never knew anyone who did THAT).

    That's not bad! I'd say you've reached a healthy relationship with your kilting! We should all look up to you like some sort of "Kilting Guru" on top of your mountain. We'll start making "pilgrimages" to your mountain to ask the great "Kilt Guru" his advice, and what the meaning of life kilted is!

    Be careful what you ask for... if you consider me a Guru and our shop my "mountain" and you're coming here for advice, you may leave with a lighter wallet and an armfull of receipts for kilts on order...

    I honestly don't TRY to be a "salesman" as much as it seems like I do... I'm just honestly as addicted to tartans as you guys are!

    I suppose it could be worse . . . you could have a kilt pleated to the tartan sett . . . and one kilt pleated to each possible combination of pleated to stripe. :rolleyes:
