Cats and kiltmaking

You never know what will interest a cat.

Barb, I seem to remember you mentioning that your daughter was going to try her hand at making a kilt. How is that going?

Last spring, she was about half way through a beautiful long kilt made from NYC tartan (she's a piper and a dancer and didn't think she needed yet another regular kilt!). She was doing a beautiful job, but graduation from college and commissioning as a lieutenant in the Air Force and getting married (all within the space of three weekends...) kind of got in the way. Since then, she and her husband have moved to New Mexico where she's stationed (she's a research physicist at the Starfire Optical Range at Kirtland AFB), and she's got her hands full. She's also starting an online degree in graphic design next week (just for fun, she says), so who knows when the kilt will come out of the box. I know she'll finish it some time!

BTW, your bracelet would make a great kilt buckle. Not that you should convert it though.

It's quite a wonderful old Navajo bow guard, and the bracket in the back to hold it on the leather guard would actually work just fine to hold a belt, so no conversion would be needed!

Oh, I do hope that pics are posted once she finishes that kilt. My first kilt was a "tank" from Geoffrey Tailor in that tartan, as it was the only one which I felt entitled to wear.
