I suppose I could go on about lessons learned from rushing a pattern to publication...but I will just add this: if any purchaser of this or any other of my patterns finds an error and is the first to notify me, I will email them any one of my patterns they choose, free of charge.
Patterns purchased after 6/21/2012:
1. Right Front Opening Edge chart for Size XS chart is mislabeled: use M chart instead. Charts for other sizes are correct; HOWEVER, note that the first 4 chart rows of these charts are shown only to help you find your place in the stitch pattern; first decrease row is actually the 5th row from the bottom.
2. For Size XS only: begin to shape Opening Edge on Row 40, not Row 38. On Row 168 of RF or LF you should have 135 sts for Dramatic sleeve (not 134), 109 sts for Practical sleeve, or 83 sts for 3/4 length sleeve. Cast on 50 (not 52) sts for Back Neck.
Patterns purchased between 9/2/2011 and 6/21/2012: See below! I have attempted to reach everyone who purchased the pattern between these dates to make sure they have the most-correct version of the pattern; please email me if you have not already heard from me. In the meantime, regarding RF Opening Edge charts, for Sizes XS and M you may use chart labeled 1X; for Sizes S, 2X and 3X use chart labeled XS/M; for Size 1X use chart labeled S/2X/3X. Unfortunately there is not a correct chart for Size L, and I cannot edit the pattern pdf until July 21st--but after that date all corrections will be incorporated into the pattern.
Patterns purchased before 9/2/2011:
1. RF Opening Edge Charts are mislabeled! For Sizes XS and M, use chart labeled "Sizes S, 2X & 3X." For Sizes S, 2X & 3X, use chart labeled "Size 1X." For Size L, use chart labeled "Size XS." For Size 1X, use chart labeled "Size M." Edited 6/21/2012: Only XS chart is mislabeled: use M chart instead. Other charts are correct; HOWEVER, note that the first 4 chart rows are shown only to help you find your place in the stitch pattern; first decrease row is actually the 5th row from the bottom.
2. For Size XS only: begin to shape Opening Edge on Row 40, not Row 38. On Row 168 of RF or LF you should have 135 sts for Dramatic sleeve (not 134), 109 sts for Practical sleeve, or 83 sts for 3/4 length sleeve. Cast on 50 (not 52) sts for Back Neck.
Patterns purchased before 4/7/08: When finishing back neck edging, you will be picking up from cast on, not bound off sts.
Patterns purchased before 2/16/08:
- Work Right Front first, but leave yarn unbroken to use when joining Right and Left Fronts.
- Disregard stitch counts given immediately after side waist shaping increases! They are wrong. I have removed them from pattern because if you are one or two stitches off at this point, it is not important; what matters is (1) that the sleeves end on the Dragon Skin pattern stitch noted, (2) that when the back neck stitches are cast on, the total number of back stitches are correct, as noted, and (3) the Right Front is worked to correspond to the Left Front.
- After waist shaping increases are completed, work even on side edge, BUT continue opening edge decreases every RS row.
- Note that marking where sleeve sts begin will only work for sizes L and 2X; stitch pattern inc/dec in the other sizes will cause the marker to move from row to row. Instead, BO same # of sleeve sts CO, and make sure you have the right # of Back sts remaining afterward.
