My LJ is permanently friends-locked. This is the link to the article I posted: http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/knitting_retired/41546

Note: there's some debate going on about the periodness of the saddle shoulder technique the person uses, ubt I'd say it's a useful start.

Thank you. That is really interesting. I do handspinning and that looks like a really neat project for me to spin enough yar for. (Cruddy grammer that)

Yay for handspinning! The original garment was for a child, so you could even back-engineer it to do a small version.

Hon, my LJ is always friends locked. You can repost the links, though, so other people can see the patterns.
