Quick Entry

I'm very busy, so I'll make this short and to the point.

JoAnn's Fabrics
I finally got to JoAnn's last night and found a zipper that will suffice.

I also picked up these two magazines while I was there.

Readers' Comments/Questions

I'm not sure yet. I won't be doing a button band, so I think I may just do a simple crew-neck collar in 2X1 rib (similar to the original design
