BTW, when I took weaving lessons last year I learned to weave on a countermarche loom. I really wanted a countermarche, but I fell into a great deal on the AVL.
Oh, heck! Come for both! We have a guest room, and there is always room for inflatable beds in "The Pebble Port", which is our former-one-bedroom-apartment-now-weaving-and-knitting-cave. Not to mention a pull-out-sofa-bed in our living room. There is also a "vice-closet" stocked with single malt.......

Is the vice-closet still stocked with that amazing hand-crafted beer?

It's gorgeous Truitt! I can't fathom weaving tartan, but love that you have shared the process. I'm fascinated - and it will make a beautiful kilt.

Impressive work! Sadly, it seems most hobbies/personal endeavors cost more to make oneself than to purchase. My wife was quite unhappy with me for buying leather, tools, and equipment to make a sporran strap when I could have bought one for half that cost that probably would have looked better. But there is something to be said for that feeling of "I made this myself".

I am so very impressed that a design I came up with (with help from all of you) has inspired this what an honour to be a small part of the process.  Well done sir well done indeed. I really look forward to seeing the kilt you make from your fabric and trust me when we do have a Wildcat tartan meet up you will be invited and may be one of the very special guests. I am simply gobsmacked.

Thank you for the kind compliments. This tartan was a pleasure to weave. I am very impressed with your design.
