Additional notes:

* Knittyspin patterns use CYC standard sizing. Full details can be found here: http://www.yarnstandards.com/sizing.html
US spellings are our standard. Watch for "ou"s where they don't belong.
* Abbreviations that begin a sentence should be capitalized
* Use "inches", not inch symbol ["] universally
* Use "work" [not "knit"] when describing following a specific pattern for a specific measurement.
* For multiple instructions, indicate as follows: 12[13, 14, 15] 
note: no space between first number and square bracket
* Do not use fractions - they get lost in transit to our technical editor. Please use decimals or write the fractions in words (i.e. one-quarter or .25)
