I don't think we've featured weaving on SD.net before, but what the hell - here is some yardage of tartan cloth I wove a few years ago. The pattern is an Ancient MacCrimmon (hope I spelled that right), 5 yards (just under 5 meters) by 32 inches (81 cm) woven at 32 threads per inch by yours truly.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job.

A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay
