Thanks for your directions Ryan!
Just wanted to add, Webbs has a great price on Harrisville Highland wool...1/2 lb cones of worsted weight wool that felts as nicely as could want. Also, since it is worsted weight, it's perfect for heavier kilt hose and of course the ever handsome sweater to wear with your kilt. You can get enough to knit a sweater and a pair of hose for around $70!!! I would suggest pre-washing before swatching and knitting to eliminate yardage loss since it is cone yarn. More colors than you could ever want (is that possible???) is a major plus for this yarn!

When decreasing I separate the 'togethers' by prime numbers of stitches, as that seems to ensure that corners do not develop nor any other feature created by lines of alterations.
