There are a couple of pattern mistakes I was made aware of lately, and this seemed like the best venue to correct them. I hope you all don't mind, but I never claimed to be perfect! A mistake here and there keeps me humble, right?
The first mistake I want to fix is in my pattern books, both Festive Knit and Fuzzy Knits. There is a small problem with the stitch counts in the heart pattern for the puppy's sweater. I had fixed this problem ages ago, but when we were putting together the book, an old copy of the file was used. From now on I will try keeping my file folders tidy!
The correct counts are shown in bold.
Next row: k1, k2 tog, k7, k2 tog, yo, k3, yo, skpo, k to last 3 sts, skpo, k1. P 1 row.
Next row: k1, k2 tog, k5, k2 tog, yo, k5, yo, skpo, k to last 3 sts, skpo, k1. P 1 row.
Next row: k6, k2 tog, yo, k2, k2 tog, yo, k3, yo, skpo, k to end. P 1 row.
Next row: k8, [yo, slip 1 knitwise, k2 tog, psso, yo, k1] twice, k to end.
The second problem is in the cabled cardigan pattern. This should teach me to not write patterns when I'm running a fever. The mistake in the stitch count is in the rows you make the button-holes with yo.
Next: k3, p13.
Next: k7, RT, k1, RT, k2, yo, k2tog.
Next: k3, p13.
Next : k7, RT, k1, RT, k4.
Repeat these last 2 rows twice more. Mark end of first row.
Next: k3, p13.
Next: k7, RT, k1, RT, k2, yo, k2tog.
Next: k3, p13.
Next : k7, RT, k1, RT, k4.
Repeat these last 2 rows twice more.
Next: k3, p13.
Next: k7, RT, k1, RT, k2, yo, k2tog.
Next: k3, p13.
Next: k7, cast off 9 sts.
