    Only 6/10 but as I don't make my own kilts it doesn't mean I am pretty much addicted in any case!

    I can be addicted to quite a few things without having the skill and the patience to manufacture them myself!

    Exactly! How many heroin addicts make their own? How many alcoholics brew/distill/ferment their own? The addiction is in how much it controls your life. I score 7-8/10, but feel like a raging kiltoholic.

    So far I'm controlling it with DIY projects, but the credit card keeps whispering "uuuuuse me, uuuuuuse me". When I run I find a mile has passed all unawares because I'm thinking about some aspect of kilting. I blow past my exit on the highway. The yard needs work but so do my jacket conversons. I've got it baaaaad!

    I wish I had been born rich instead of good-looking so I could afford more kilts.

    8 1/2 I bought material to try and sew my own and borrowed my MIL's sewing machine, but it doesn't have instructions and the bobbin is different than any machine I have ever seen so I haven't actually done anything yet (and it has been about 6 months).

    Except for owning trousers (which I do) I pegged the neeedle on every one of these. Oh my gosh...I've got it bad
    I've already got the material for two more kilts waiting and I cruise the internet looking for more (I have these sites bookmarked). I've even tried designing my own kilt making worksheet.
    When the mail comes I look at the sewing machine ads.
    I fondle fabric.
    I look at jewelry and wonder if I could add that someway into a DIY sporran.
    I look at soccer socks and wonder if I could use them for kilt hose.
    The guy at the Scottish store downtown is starting to know me by sight.
    My neighbor who has a business in Wales and travels there regularly asks me if I want him to pick up anything at the Wales Tartan Center.
    My friends see a tartan and ask me what it is, because if anyone would know "he" would.
    You get the idea.....

    The weird thing is that I'm only a relative newby!
