2008 Kilt Kamp in Franklin, NC

[fluter]

Barb, thanks for all the guidance. This is going to be fun! I hope that we both make it up, SWMBO has hurt her foot & we're waiting for the foot doctor to look at the imagery.

1 and 2) I actually don't recommend reading the book ahead of time, ... The instructions are meant to be used with tartan and needle in hand,

I hope to have done some of a practice kilt from the MacFabricstore remnants (wool blend). wsk may be like me, I read technical documents for a living: The perfect job: I read books and play with computers!

4) In the list of "what to bring" that I've sent to those who've registered, I indicate that they should bring a task light of some kind. An Ott-Lite is ideal.

On sale at Joann's! Does anyone have advice on what portable model is desirable? TrueColor(tm) versus white?

I'm bringing my pipes (gotta practice....). Is anyone else bringing pipes?

No pipes, but hopefully a flute or three. [Maybe a whistle? not that I can play it...]

I'd definitely buy the true color one. For some colors, it really makes a difference for matching thread, for example. And the fold-up portable one is amazing. I've had mine for over 10 years and traveled with it all over the country. It inevitably gets me a hand baggage search, though, because it looks odd on the Xray machine at security. When I bought the lamp, I also bought an extra bulb, because I was sure it would burn out/break. I still haven't replaced the bulb. What a great light!

I didn't think I would ever be able to attend a Kilt Camp but I have just registered and booked my hotel.

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone. I am staying for the festival too.

I am not bringing my GH pipes Barb, but I will bring my Scottish smallpipes.

Now I'm all excited

I'll bring my small pipes, too. Do you have key of A or key of D small pipes?

[Peter C.]

Hi Barb,

I have a John Walsh combo set, both A and D but I prefer the A set. The D chanter holes are a little close together for my fingers.
