A few notes if you plan on PDFing this one.

A. Pictures, Some of use are very visual learners when we remember to read the directions on sewing patterns.

If I'm ever unemployed again with oodles of time on my hands, I'll document with more photos. As it is, I'm leaving that to the F-H.C.A.G.

B. I would NOT advise the use of woolite on your woolens, it is a carpet cleaner and is no longer formulated for wool carpets, and even when it was there is a huge difference between a carpet wool and a cloth wool, trust me. I would advise the use of euclean, or Soak woolwash, and in a pinch shampoo works too. Wool is hair, the proteins are very similar.

PLease, oh please, (trying to sound like Oliver in the orphanage) May I have some more?

No, wait..that's not right. Miz String, where might I purchase euclean or Soak Woolwash? there's a knitting store in my town, might they have it?

C. most importantly, the very polite American word you use for bum, is a VERY impolite word for something else in Australia and the UK. very very rude word. PM me if you wanna know and can't figure it out. Congratulations you have hit the language barrier between English and American. BTW if you have a mind like me and read it with the English meaning of the word, that particular section is extremely funny.

Thanks for the heads up and the specifics in PM's. I will find a few minutes to change that, this weekend!

Other than that, thank you. I am gonna have to find a reason to go fabric shopping now. I really appreciate the inclusion of belt loops, and I now need to figure out how to hide pockets in it, since I cannot function without them.

Excellent Pattern Overall

Yes your local yarn store should have it. Also I forgot Kookaburra woolwash, that is another good one.

If you are in north america knitpicks has eucelan and kookaburra http://knitpicks.com/Kookaburra+Wool...ookaburra.html

Soak is a bit less common, but I picked it up at a yarn store near here. Any yarn store worth their salt should have some sort of woolwash. And if there is no yarn store nearby (poor thing) then most any large online yarn seller will have it.

The advantage of Soak is that it's no rince, which is good in some knitting situations.
