    What should I do to the fringed edge, if anything?
    Run, scream, gnash teeth, cry soulfully, lament at the injustice of it all, then snip the offending thread and be done with it. .....oh i see you did, nevermind. ;oP

    That reminds me, I still need to write and insert a large footnote or paragraph regarding that UU book I asked you about the other day; lots of good stuff in there. Been a little busy over the last couple of weeks with the computer crash.

    Anyway the kilt was fine after a year of hanging there, and I still remembered how to put it on.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Kilts are kind of like that, always willing to be put back on, even if you are wearing white hose. :oP

    I was wearing brown Lewis hose, so don't worry.
