Good to Know

I've chosen to make my Edgewater Collection free on Ravelry, for tax reasons. This means that there have been thousands of downloads of the patterns so far, and I'm thrilled that there's been so much interest in them and in my design work. Each pattern has been test knitted in several sizes and until yesterday I thought everything had squeaked by without any errors. Then, while I was knitting up the sleeve of a new Petrova (a relative of Glenora), I suddenly realized that a test knitter of Glenora had been right when she said she thought there was a typo on p5 at the top of the sleeves. Carol, one of my testers caught this, and I checked the body instructions leading up to the joining of sleeves and body, but I neglected to check the sleeve instructions. Sorry!

ON PAGE 5, THE SECOND LAST PARAGRAPH SHOULD SAY THAT THE SLEEVES END WITH AN ODD-NUMBERED CHART ROUND.

Now comes the interesting bit. I immediately uploaded a new version of the pattern onto Ravelry. When you SELL a pattern on Ravelry, notice of any updates is sent out to all purchasers in the form of a message. But, when a pattern is free, things happen differently. If you downloaded the pattern AND saved it to your Ravelry library, then you will receive a notice on your library page in the section labelled "Updates". In other words, you have to hunt a bit. This is the downside of patterns being free. If you are a Raveler, please ALWAYS save your free downloads to your library, and check for updates before you print.

Looks like a tall ship out on the lake today!
