And when you get the book directly from Barb it arrives really fast. I am reading away, understanding some and going to pick up some fabric soon. I found some decent looking black grey white tartan in a wool poly blend that seems about the right weight and feel, a six inch sett, and at 10$ a yard can afford to learn and not be upset if I muck it up. wish me luck

and do get Barb's book if nothing more than to appreciate the artistry that goes into making a kilt.
