I was looking at the recommendation to use pipe clay (kaolin clay) to soak yellow hankies, and stumbled into a discussion on how to keep your pith helmet and spats clean if you're a piper.
Apparently, pipe clay (which they don't sell now) mixed with equal parts whiting (powdered chalk) works like liquid white shoe polish. Hankies? who knows?
I want that quilt and that swan mat. I have patterns for crocheted trim that matches it, and for waterlilies. Someone send me back to a 40s (50s?) church bazaar where I might find one.
Why do pipers walk as they play?
Because it's harder to hit a moving target.
Don't mess with men who toss telephone poles for fun. When this is all over, you should come up for the Highland games in Fergus. I've never seen a piper in a pith helmet.
