Oy, it's done! The Turtle Butt pattern is all fixed up.
While fixing the charts, I thought I would do a little playing around with the pattern set up as well. It's now less pages, less pictures (so you don't waste a ton of printer ink) and directions for adding long legs is added. All of the charts are downloadable separate from the pattern so you only need to print the size you need, if you need it at all. Most people find that by the time they get to the leg split, they have a good enough feel for the stitch pattern that they don't need it. I also increased the font size on the larger charts so you can actually read the row for row directions.
Whew! So now that's done, let's have a sale! My wonderfully awesome yarnie friend Beth of Doodlebirds Creations is back in business. To celebrate the pattern being done and Beth being back, we're pairing up to offer Turtle Butt kits (and Adorabubble Britches and Sideways Britches and sock kits).
