• 10:27 Very posh banyan: tinyurl.com/7y8wwo . danphilpott - what do you think of the buttons on the sleeves?
• 12:29 Long-stored gabled hood has tiny holes - research suggests clothes moths. May need to rethink garb storage, esp. fitted gown.

The banyan is very nice and the useful way that the sleeves button up is quite intriguing ... now you've got me wanting to make something with sleeves I can do that to.

Moths = very bad. They hit yarn stashes too, so the knitting communities are always full of how-tos for eradication and prevention (as well as identifying whether it's moth larvae or some other fibre-eating critter) ... shall take a looksee if those entries are tagged and link you up if they are.

Hey, make away (http://www.lostcoasthistpatterns.com/cobabyrohofa.html)! It's an 18th c. men's dressing gown but there's no reason it couldn't be a modern robe for anyone :)

Re: moths - if you could provide me with those links I would be grateful!

Tsk! Cannot believe that they have a tag for complaining about your projects, but not one for insects or moths.

However, there's always a way ***GRIN***

Go to the knitting profile page, scroll down a teensy bit until you see the Google search box and search "moths" ... this will give you a list of the relevant posts (including one from an entomologist member and at least one with i.d. photos). Plus, as with any good community, there's additional useful stuff in the comments as well. Good luck!

Re "make away" ... probably shall one day. But right now I'd like to finish some of the many in-progress things I have going on first. ;p
