Tying up loose ends. Bad pun.

Hey all. I'm finally getting around to mailing my kit. I've put everything in plastic sleeves, and I've printed out all my answers. The only question I have left is this:

The instructions say to enclose a copy of the instructions with the revision date showing clearly. Unless I'm nuts, there isn't a revision date on the general instructions. There's a copyright date of 2004, but not a month/day/year date. The cover note does have a revision date (11/01/04) but I don't know if that's what they're talking about. Anyone have their instructions handy? Did I accidentally mangle the copy I made (and lost the original, of course) of my instructions?

Eep!

Soooo, how's the knitting?

I've been done with my swatches for a while now, as well as done with the blocking paper and most of the questions. All I need to do is finish question 1 about gauges, and I'll be ready to go. Thing is, I keep putting it off. It's such a small bit to do, so somehow it gets shoved to the bottom of the list.

So I've decided that I need to finish it TONIGHT! By blogging about it, I'm making myself accountable. Accountable, or embarassed. We'll see come tomorrow.

How about the rest of you'ns? What do you have left to do?

Total knitting embarrassment

So I didn't believe Tamie about weaving in the ends on swatches, and posted the same question to the masterknitter list. Lo and behold, the answer is YES, you SHMUCK, YOU DO. That answer can be found in the first paragraph of the general instructions. I'm mildly mortified.

Anyway, I'm working on my tags, and my question is this --> for the "knitting technique" do we write the instructions again? Like for swatch 1, would you write "k2, p2; increase 5; garter" or something similar? I'm not sure how to succinctly summarize.
