The yarn, gauge, and needle size information may need correcting. Today, Dec. 21, 2008, the info accompanying this pattern listing says

Yarn weight: Bulky
Gauge: 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in Stocking stitch
Needle size: US 2½ / 3.0 mm

I don’t have the pattern (wish I did), but I hope someone will double-check the info above against the pattern and against basic knitting logic. I’m no expert knitter, but I’m fairly certain that yarn weight, gauge, and needle size do not go together!
