Steve - awesome pictures and idea! I've been using just my hands and a seam ripper ...

Tulloch - I have thought about cutting it in small sections, but was afraid of making a mistake ... And for the purling tool, I'd love to see a picture if that's possible.

A few years ago I spent the better part of a Labour Day and a National Geographic "Dog Whisperer" marathon purling a plaid for my son. It sure is worth the effort. Good Luck!

Okay, so after a week of work (less 4 days due to a sore back or parades) I have got one end of the plaid fringed. Wish I was further along, but what can you do. The goal is to have the plaid ready for Canada day as I have 2 parades that day and plan to wear all my new kit that day and surprise the band ... Although I probably won't get it purled until after that day, you never know.

Started the other end tonight. It takes around an hour to do one of these sections. I didn't want to do it his way, but honestly I will gladly sacrifice one or two treads to save 15-20 mins!
