As is bound to happen when a knitting book is published, errors surface once the book is published. For this reason those of us who have written such books include an “errata” section on our web pages.

The pattern itself is correct but it fails to make note of the fact that there is a purl stitch on either side of the pattern. This is done to give it definition. Therefore, I’ve corrected the chart as follows:
I have re-created the page in PDF format and it can be downloaded by clicking here: Page 13 PDF. It is also now on the Mermaid Shawl web site under Errata. Thanks to Elizabeth for pointing this out.

And, finally, I got an email from Elann.com yesterday and they are interested in selling the book on their site. I am thrilled.

Thanks for reading.
