abbreviations
What on earth do they mean?
I know the basic ds, dd, dh, that sort of stuff. But what about the other stuff?
Now that I'm trying to post this, I can't remember the specific ones. They mystify me. I need to learn this language!

This isn't an abbreviation, but a lot of people wonder what Ottobre is.
Ottobre Design is a pattern magazine, with primarily children's patterns.
