Your comments about my book mean an _enormous amount_ to me coming from you! Made my holiday season! Hogs and quiches to you! And congratulations on your upcoming (kilted, of course!) wedding!

My book is $34.70 shipped to a US address via priority mail. You can order it from me at http://www.celticdragonpress.com. I honestly don't know where to get it used. I think somewhere I have a defective copy with two front covers (!). If I can find it, you can have it for half price!

The Folkwear pattern is about $20 plus shipping. It contains basic directions for making a kilt, plus a pattern for a Prince Charlie jacket and vest and directions for knitting argyle hose. I'd buy it just for the jacket pattern - the kiltmaking part of the instructions aren't very detailed. Hard to really explain all the ins and outs when you're constrained to the back and front of one large sheet of pattern directions! Lots of places carry it. Here's one: http://www.earthguild.com/products/f...r/folkwear.htm

If you decide eventually to get a copy of my book, you know where to find me if you have questions!!

Cheers,

Barb
