At long, long last,... I've finished the MacArthur tartan project started just over 3 years ago.
I began spinning the yarn (100% Merino at 60 wpi - approx. 4000 yard/lb) in Jan. 2008 and spun sporadically throughout 2008/2009, warped the loom Nov/Dec 2009, then sampled and wove the tartan (8 yds x 35 in, 13 oz. kilting) Jan - April 2010. Then, set about learning the "Art of Kiltmaking" and made two practice kilts first (Black Watch & Leslie) and finally got going on it's construction midway thru last month. Finished it up on Saturday, Feb. 5th - and got a job offer the same day!! Woohoo!

Here are a couple of quick pix, will post more/better, as time permits.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and kind words of encouragement, especially Barb T. for her advice and assistance, too.

Best,
Doug MacArthur
