Congratulations on the "baby bounce" as the news program(me) put it!
On the flip side, I hope those silk weaving demands do not sideline wool tartan production -- are they run on the same machines? My cynical side sees kilties waiting longer for their custom runs while scarf orders are filled. . . but that's just the way my American mind works.

Being an American (and a cynic ) myself, I had that same thought. This was reinforced by the fact that my custom-weave kilt that had been projected to ship this past Monday, hadn't. When I queried for a new expected ship date, I was told that the mill was closed down for the week, for holiday, and I'd have to wait until next Monday when the mill reopened, to find out. :crap: 
So after spotting this video online, I wondered, tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek, if my loom had been commandeered to help satisfy demand for a scarf.
My jones continues...  LOL!

Its quite usual in industrial Britian for factories to shut for two weeks(factory fortnight) at this time of year, to give a chance for essential maintentence, on looms, boilers, blast furnaces, kilns etc.. that would be working in many cases 24/7 for the rest of the year. I am not sure when this tradition started, but it must be almost as old as the industrial revolution.
