Many books after publication are found to have errors. The publisher and/or author will usually post those corrections on their own web pages. --Susan; ▶ Reply to This

At the top of the page under the Learn tab, click on Tutorials... on that page there is a list of different items... Under Cast On... the Cabled Cast On is listed. Just click on it, and the instructions are right there.

There is also information on the tutorial page for socks, you may find what you need for the top down toe. Hope all this helps. --Susan; ▶ Reply to This

Here is the problem.
I’ve joined the shoulder seams and have come to the collar…..
(Front collar) The instructions say to pattern across 33 sts but there are only 16 sts on each front holder (per front shape shoulder)
Across the back of the sweater I have the recommended 32 sts
I’m obviously not understanding it so if you can help I would greatly appreciate it.
I love the design, it is absolutely beautiful! But I do need help....thank you!; ▶ Reply to This

Unforuntatly I do not have a copy of the pattern to reference. However, I did find there is some errata for the book:

Errata

Also, when searching Ravelry, I did see that this sweater is the same sweater as a sweater from Rowan magazine.

Rapunzul (Ravelry link)

I'm sorry I wasn't much help!

The errata is not the info I need (ichecked it out a long time ago)
Rapunzel is a bit different in the collar area......
I have emailed Jean a few times and have not gotten a response.
Since Knitpicks featured the sweater a year or so ago in your catalog I thought maybe the person who knitted it could help.
Chances are they no longer are working there....

Oh well, guess I'll never get to wear the sweater!; ▶ Reply to This

Stacey, once again thank you for your help. I decided to try and email Jean Moss again and lo and behold she emailed me back immediately, guess she had emailed me a while ago though I never received it(oh the world of cyberspace) any way she gave me the corrections I need to finish the sweater and this morning I started and am so excited.....I'll be able to wear it this winter after all!!!!

Thanks again for the community where we can post our thoughts and questions!

I have tried and tried to like them, but I guess this old dog is just not up to those new tricks. I receive another knitting catalog and I noiced that it is now including the information as to whether a pattern is written or charted or like the Fiber Trends patterns I enjoy; both. I have thoughtof purchasing patterns or books, but don't do it because if the pattern is only charted I would never even try it; ▶ Reply to This
