Errors in Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns

Reporting is GOOD, Aaron! However, I do have a query: which edition/version/printing were the glaring errors IN? (I only ask to point out that "newer" reprints/versions, etc MAY have been re-edited, with erratta....) JM2C, Noreen

(who, for the record, has an original first edition "The old man and the sea"... and you wouldn't believe the typos!)

Of course, thinking about it, ole man Hemmingway DID like his booze... maybe they were HIS OWN original typos! LOL Noreen

Big Book of Knitting Stitches Sterling ISBN 1-4027-0830-0 English translation © 2004 by Sterling Publishing Co., Inc., first printing (Sold at full price at a major chain bookstore in December of 2005)

See for example page 54, Wide Lattice and Lattice Stripe.

On the Lattice Stripe, the chart symbols distinguish between a "right cross" and a "right crossover." the Chart indicates two "right cross"(es) in row three, while the text instructions state one right cross and one right crossover in row three.

The text for the Wide Lattice says to work it on a multiple of 10 stitches. The chart shows it to be a bit wider!

Note that on three stitches on pg 53, none of the charts exactly match the photographs. I noticed the page 53 discrepancies in the bookstore. If I had spent less time puzzling over them in the bookstore, my wife would not have noticed the book and would not have bought it for me. Santas around the world take note!

WOW! Those are most definitely, most definitively glaring errors! Thanks for sharing, Aaron. Noreen
