Oh No!

I have made a terrible mistake.




As pictured in the book





While preparing for "Playing with Picots" I scanned the wrong model, so the illustration doesn't match the pattern text and diagram. This picture also appears at the end of the Palmetto class handout. This was from an earlier version of the pattern. The difference is whether to join into, or skip over, the "valley" where the long picots are joined together in Round 2. It works either way, but I thought the later version looked more interesting.




Should look like





I haven't found my correct model yet. I've either misplaced it or given it away. I do have the purple model used for Palmetto.

Judging from the pictures in people's blogs, more have been following the photo than the pattern. We tatters are a visually oriented lot, aren't we?

Starting yesterday, an errata sheet is slipped into the book.

Thank you to StitchingSharon for pointing this out.









See the difference?




Update: Carolyn says: Martha, for those of us who have already bought the book, could you make the errata sheet available online so we can download and print it out for our copies? Thanks!!


I plan to email the errata sheet to everyone I can. I still have email address for everyone who used Paypal. Please contact me if you would like me to send you one. I'll be away from the computer over the weekend, but I'll get these out as soon as I can.

  4. I just got my copy in the mail yesterday. I'd love a copy of the insert if you see this message. I love the designs in the book.

  5. You're right! Both ways look interesting, but I see your point about wanting to keep the image and the instructions as similar as possible.

    Thank you so much for going the extra mile to ensure your pattern books are corrected!

  6. Hello Martha,
    I bought your book at tat days. CarolynK has a good suggestion. If you make the errata sheet available online, it would be easier to print out.
