    Well, I'm the first to admit that I am not, nor ever have been, a mathematician (one reason why I cannot build a kilt!), but my reply to your question was quite true and honest ......... I just did not explain the situation clearly!

    Yes, my wants list was down to two quite recently, and having yesterday added the Pink Death camo, it does now stands at seven BUT, in the past few days (just prior to my seeing your PDc masterpiece) I had included four more! It would have been clearer and fairer had I stated, "Until yesterday it stood at six, w2f, but now that I have added the Pink Death camo, it is up to seven."

    I probably mentioned that my list stood at two because that is the shortest wish list I have had for several years! Sincere apologies for the confusion, and for inadvertantly misleading you.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Have to confess I rather like, just not sure where i would wear it.
    I did see some pink camo in a fabric shop recently and was tempted, but resisted...
    perhaps I will give in!!

    W2F, I didn't say don't wear it. I just think you'll get quite a different reaction from Hannah and her friends! And I'll even go to the pub with you just to watch the crowd!

    w2f,

    Hmmmm....I spy a new dress sporran and Argyll Jacket. It seems someone is getting ready for Burns' Night! (I do hope you will forgo your latest creation and join us in XMTS tartan though!).

    Cheers

    The beauty of this camo print is no kin to the pastel pinks of the girlie camo prints usually found in fabric stores. (I didn’t ask Steve - and he didn’t tell - its source.)

    Do not for a moment think I would give up Mr. Skunk for some “wimpy wabbit” sporran! - especially when he has this effect on Burns Night revelers:




    But consider the busy weekend, where the night prior is spent mingling with revelers of another sort at the local microbrewery. Perhaps a bright pink note of cheeriness would be welcomed .

    W2F, women just have to pet the skunk sporran. I must wear mine for Burns' Night too.

    I just had to revive this thread with one picture (w2f getting his reward for running the kilted mile at the Pleasanton Games last month):



    Be well,
