Although I've always wanted to learn to knit, unfortunately I've got enough on my plate at the moment as a new kilt owner.

I have to make myself a belt, pick up my altered E-Bay-score tweed jacket from the cleaners, fringe my wool hose garters, choose a knife to stain/carve as a sgian, and, if I have time, make a sporran belt so I can avoid the ignominy of using the (gasp!) chain belt that came with my inexpensive starter sporran. All before Friday, when I have the great pleasure of attending the first of two evenings of Burns-inspired revelry.

So, I wish all your knitters well, and hope against hope that I'm the lucky one.

Cheers,
John
