Errata

Our patterns are all checked, re-checked, and checked again, but mistakes slip by now and then. As an aside, for some reason I seem to have the most trouble with patterns whose names start with the letter "G." I wonder why that is. Anyway, here are the corrections listed in alphabetic order by pattern name.

Algernon

August 19, 2008: The portion of the chart key that shows the cables with the purl stitches is messed up in the original release. The purl stitches are in the correct place, the words are correct, but the diagonal lines are backwards, facing the wrong way. If you purchased this pattern before August 19, and need the revised .pdf, please let me know.

Aventine

November 12, 2009: Something got muddled in the translation, and the symbol for purling on the right side of the fabric is incorrect in the magazine. The key and chart should look like this:

Another problem with the chart in the magazine: The center section, C, has 14 stitches, but the label along the bottom says 15. 14 is correct. Therefore, the cast on number, 45, is also correct.

Diamanten

February 16, 2010. Line 1 of the written instructions should start: (Ssk twice, YO twice)... Thank you, Sherry, for pointing this out to me. The revised pattern has been uploaded to Patternfish. No printed patterns were issued before this change.

Diamonds in His Shoes

October 16, 2007. Corrected decreases for fitted cuff.

January 24, 2008. Fixed missing symbol in first chart. Error found and reported by Emily. Thank you, Emily!

If you need the revised pattern, you can download it from the pattern page.

Garden Party

February 9, 2008: Fixed the second chart on page 2.

February 12, 2008:Fixed references to charts A and B on pages 8 and 9. There is only 1 chart on each of those pages.

May 5, 2008. A small chart error was found by Alexandra. If you purchased the .pdf on Ravelry, you should be able to download the new copy. If you have trouble with this or purchased the pattern elsewhere, send me your email address, and I’ll send that page to you. The error is on the Lacy Lattice chart on page 4. Line 7 should read (the bold part is the change):

(K2, YO) twice, s1, k2tog, psso, YO, K3, YO, s1, k2tog, psso; repeat from until 11 sts remain, then: YO, K3, YO, SSK, YO, K4, YO, K1, SSK with shawl edge.

Grandiflora

August 5, 2008: The first thing is a clarification, not an error, per se. It seems that some people are confused by the pattern repeat on the cuff. Think of it this way: Knit chart A once, then chart B 7 [8] times.

The second part is an error correction. Lines 2 and 3 of the gusset setup row should be as follows. Corrections are bold.

PU and K13 [K16] along edge, PM.
PU and K3 [K0] along edge, K1 [K5]...

Gschnitztal

December 31, 2008: I found two little things with the pattern that could be confusing, so I need to let you all know about them. These are fixed in the updated pattern:

• The chart from the heel flap is missing a diagonal line. On the first line, about midway through, there's a space that's two stitches wide. That needs to have a diagonal line in it going from the lower left corner to the upper right corner. It should match the key just below it.
• Immediately under the chart for the heel flap there's a line that says, "End by working row 1 one more time." Delete that line. Don't knit it, either. When you finish knitting the chart repeats above, you're ready to begin turning the heel.

September 22, 2009: Instep chart, row 15 stitch 11 should be a "b" instead of blank. Thank you, Kathryn, for telling me about this oversight.

Pacific Islands

This isn't a pattern error, but some people find the charts a little confusing, so I thought a note here might help a bit. If you still have trouble with this, please let me know, and I'll see if I can help. The confusion for some people lies with the fact that charts A and D have 14 rows each, and charts B and C only have 12 rows each. Here's what you do:

After knitting the 12 rows for charts B and C, repeat those rows again. So, as you're knitting row 13 of A and D, knit row 1 of B and C. When you run out of rows for A and D, knit row 1 again, but this time you're on row 3 of B and C.

Chart and symbol problems

Some Macintosh users have trouble with the chart symbols—and occasionally other text—showing up as funny little rectangles, especially on early downloads of some of the older patterns. This most often happens when the .pdf file is opened with the Preview application. Instead, right click on the download link. Select "Save Link As" from the menu to save the file to your hard drive. Open the file with the latest version of Acrobat Reader. This should fix the problem. If you still cannot read the pattern after doing this, please contact us.
