I think the Big 4 generally suck at knit directions... I almost always adjust the SAs prior to cutting, and do my own finishing thing too! Nice job on these wardrobe builders. :-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406909491823466233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679465491844920579.post-54446676722226252142012-09-23T07:49:52.394-04:002012-09-23T07:49:52.394-04:00ooh!
