By the way, I am now registered with Ravelry.com as franka2 and have looked around some. Amazon now says my book about knitting kilt hose will here tomorrow (along with a bunch of the brass Chicago screws I use on a lot of my belts). I'm in the middle of finishing three belts right now, all brown, a 1-1/2" for my brother John, a 1-1/4" for my son Gregg, and a new kilt belt for my good kilt. They will get done in that order and I want my kilt belt for kirkin of the tartan Sunday a.m.!

Thanks to everyone for the advice, it is greatly appreciated. I'm motivated to learn how to do this stuff, but it needs to get in line!
