A Public Service Announcement

We will skip the unspeakable amount of time I spent on the heel of my current sock-in-progress, and proceed directly to the solution. If you own any knitting books from Interweave Press, get them out, grab a pen, go here, and make corrections. The sanity you save may be your own.

Mom, I saw two of these on your shelf, but I know you can't "do" pdf's. I'll borrow the books next time I'm down (heh heh heh) and return them corrected (really!).

I feel your pain with errors. I have had trouble with some patterns, free & published alike.

When I borrowed Mom's Folk Shawl book, I returned it with a ton of printouts of the correction pdf pages. *shakes head* There were a lot in that one.

It is frustrating how many patterns have errors. The last Cat Bordhi book I got was the second printing and there were still a ton of corrections. It is very frustrating.

I am afraid to use the Vogue Sock book I got because I hear a common complaint is that the patterns are full of errors. And I can't locate any of their corrections online. I will definitely check people's comments on Ravelry before attempting any of those patterns.
