I'm alive, honest
I've been knitting. Doing a lot of swearing too. Seems the last, oh, 6 commercial patterns I've tried to knit have ALL had major errors in them. Some even this experienced knitter couldn't figure out a way around.
On one there were corrections, on a tiny slip of paper that had to fall out of the pattern book for me to notice. *Whew* As this was for a special project.
Do beware of KnitPicks patterns, the 3 I've looked at all had errors. The free baby sweater has at least 3, most of them a semi-experienced knitter can figure out. If you start off with an odd number and decrease 10 stitches you do NOT end up with an even number. Things like that.
Does no one proof knit these things any more?
Re. Knit Picks
Seems they have put up a revised Baby sweater with at least one of the major errors corrected (I haven't had time to search my memory for the others.) I applaud them for correcting things.
Ah well, off to knit some lace.

Martha, I can barely get college students to proof read assignments! Proof knitting is hard work, I'm sure, but I would expect people to put up patterns based on what they had already knit!
