    Am I obsessed?

    I opened a birthday present from my wife on Tuesday. No, not “kilt related” items but I did get some hints that Christmas may be “kilt themed”. It was a NE Patriots robe and pajamas in a nice red, white and blue flannel. I loved it!!

    Later that night, as I sat watching television, I suddenly found myself folding over the robe wondering what the pattern would look like pleated!!!

    Yes, you are obsessed, but we have all done it. I found myself looking at a tablecloth one evening in the same way.

    It's only an obsession if it interferes with your daily life. If your life is kilt/tartan/pleat related, then it clearly isn't interfering. Congrats, you're fine!

    Hmm...I'm thinking you are a future kilt maker (if you aren't one already!)!

    I don't see kilt making in my future!

    Tough enough to type with 10 thumbs - can't envision them sewing!

    I knew I was obsessed when I looked at my friend's shirt and said, "That's a nice Black Stewart." Everybody looked at me like I was crazy. I knew then my life would never be the same.

    (...I still identify tartans when I see them)

    Whats a little obsession between friends? I think we have all done the same thing at one time or another.

    Ooooh dear. Is this what my future holds?!
    (I'll not mention that I've used a table cloth and a big leather to work out how a great kilt worked when I was younger.)
