  • baby thermal, and one last correction

    pink thermal yoke

    Last week I started into yet another version of Thermal, following the little blue one I posted a photo of a few entries ago – that one’s sized for a baby, this one, for a kid (about 4 years). I’m reworking the pattern to self-publish it sized from newborn right up to a kids’ size 12. Instead of being knit in the round from the bottom up with set-in sleeves, this one’s a top down raglan – easy to knit, and easy to size!

    Still knit in fingering weight – this time I’m using Nature’s Palette. It’s coming along quickly despite the small needles – I just started this one about a week or so ago. And it’s really fun – I really do love this waffle stitch pattern! Easy, but good visual impact.

    And, well, there’s one more little correction to the B-Side pattern – the last correction that I made was mirrored again in the next row, so that is now a bit off. I’ve decided not to email out the corrected pattern automatically to everyone this time, because my email doesn’t like the volume! It’s a really easy fix, though, and of course I’ll email it to anyone that asks.

    The row following the cable set-up row should read:

    “Next Row [WS]: Purl to marker, slip marker, work Row 3 of Ensign’s Braid Cable over next 24 sts, slip marker, purl to end.”

    The BSide3.pdf version of the file says to purl a certain number of stitches which should have been changed when I changed the cable set-up row – but basically you’re just purling across and working the panel in pattern. Pretty simple fix, and some knitters might not even have looked at the number of stitches to purl to the marker!

    Again, though, if you want a new copy of the pattern, just email me at cosmicpluto@cosmicpluto.com. I’ve also posted the errata on the B-Side Ravelry page.

  • I hate doing this, but…

    Well, shit. There’s another problem with the B-Side pattern, concerning the placement of the cable on the left front (obviously important, no?). It works out fine numbers-wise, but in some of the sizes the underarm decreases eat into the side of the cable pattern, which was not my intention.

    So I’ve re-jiggered the numbers for cable placement as follows:

    “…work 2×2 Ribbing over 13 [13, 17, 17, 17]{21, 21, 25, 29, 29} stitches, place marker, work Row 2 of Ensign’s Braid Cable Chart over following 18 stitches (increasing to 24 stitches), place marker, work remaining 18 [22, 18, 22, 26]{26, 26, 30, 30, 38} stitches in 2×2 Ribbing.”

    (If you have the pattern that should make sense.) Please note if you’ve already been knitting awawy, that the previously published numbers WILL work for all sizes (resulting in the correct number of stitches) but you may need to work the underarm decreases right at the edge (not k2 at the edge) and that the shaping may cut into the cable section.

    So re-sending out it is. Unfortunately since it’s a big file (2MB) it takes a few minutes to send to each person – so it’s going to take a few hours! I would consider writing up and sending out an errata sheet only, or just a copy of the page where these numbers are changed, but then I know that people would file it separately and maybe forget to print that extra page when they go to work the pattern!

    It may be several hours before the updated file reaches you – if you haven’t received the file by tomorrow, please check your junk mail filters and let me know. The file has been updated on Ravelry, but unfortunately they haven’t gotten to the feature where you can download an updated file yet!

    I’m so sorry!

  • Vino errata

    It’s come to my attention that there is a small error in the Vino Cardigan pattern!

    Under “Left Front”, the instruction says “Next row: k across to last 12 sts, (p2, k2) twice, k2.” This is incorrect. It should say:

    Next row: k across to last 12 sts, (p2, k2) three times.

    If anyone would like a corrected version of the pattern, please email me with the email address used to purchase the pattern, and I’ll send it right out.

    Apologies for any confusion!
