I am ready .to Steek!!! Not too worried about the process but unsure about a couple of things. The front opening has a self facing, one that turns back on itself (I will be doing a picot edge instead of the purl turn). Is there anyneed to put a grosgrain ribbon on this edge? It was mentioned. I have only used a grosgrain on a single band for reinforcing.
Does the pattern call for a closer (button)? What has been the general idea hear? It doesn't look like there is anything on the picture in the pattern.

Suz: No need for grosgrain ribbon unless you want to use it. The "raw" or cut edge of the front will be enclosed in the band down the front. Some people have added buttons or other closures, but most people just leave it open. I've used mine a lot, and I don't find need to close it up. It's really warm! --P

Robin: Thanks! Let's see how nice it looks when it's done, though! I have two weeks until surgery. (But who's keeping track!) --P
