Well thanks.

And to you and others who have expressed the same incredulity, remember that I am a professional shoe/bootmaker of over 35 years experience. It's not like any of these techniques are foreign to me, although I did have to review my pineapple knot. I used to be able to do that in two colours but I've forgotten how.

You can see a small sampling of what I do if you check out my profile or you can go to my website. I am offering to make shoes and sporrans like this (and others evolving towards dressier) to anyone who might be interested.
