When does buying kilts stop being a hobby and become grounds for an intervention?

[Caddy One]

I would not worry about it......admitting to yourself and other is the first step...which you have done.........but I really think you are still in the denial stage....its tough but somebody has to do it....

Oh No, I just started this past Saturday and I'm already past Step 4! I was not properly warned of this obsession!

I find myself wrestling with some of the same issues. Having purchased 6 kilts, and with 4 more on order, within the past several months, I find myself facing the "need vs. want" argument all of the time. Ahh, decisions, decisions.....

It's not a true addiction until you go into hock for three or four Industrial sewing machines, 50 or 60 entire bolts of fabric, allow the bank to buy you an entire building, hire some sewing ladies and put out a sign that says;


"WE MAKE KILTS,
BUT GO AWAY, THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE,
THEY ARE ALL FOR ME!!!

What do I really need with 60 yards of 18-oz. Gordon Modern? But there it sits in my basement, wrapped in a sheet to protect it. The world's biggest feilidh mor.

Last count (I checked this morning to see if there had been any unauthorized replicating) I had 14 kilts in the closet and one in progress with Barb T. I can go 2 weeks w/o repeating. What more do I need? (Don't ask).

At the moment I'm jonesing for kilt #30. My delight at acquiring new kilts is beginning to be countered by a melancholy at all these kilts hanging in the wardrobe unused and each only getting worn on average one day a month, since I can only wear one at a time. I need to find a way to produce multiple clones of myself so my kilts will get worn more frequently.

I'll be your clone for that very-rare, very-valuable CADPAT FK for you .

I can always dream up a wish for another kilt. I want a Navy-Edzell! I want a MacNaughton tank (to supplement my PV MacNaughton, which I wear at Games but not at formal events) and so on.

But I have nine kilts right now. Of those, I made four, and bought five. I am looking forward to my desert camo way2fractious homage kilt and my Grey Stewart that I will make next year. And truth be told I might make a MacNaughton tank and a Hall clan box-pleat. But beyond that I think that "more kilts" would in fact start looking like an obsession rather than a fun thing. So my stopping point is in sight.

SB, you haven't been around to keep that list going. SOMEONE had to. Good to see you on the board again.
