Errata

Unfortunately the following errata have occurred.
I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and hope you can successfully finish your garment.




The Mirasol Collection Book 5

Hannah Page 42
For the left front the 3rd patt row has an error.
It should say:
3rd patt row: work as given in book until it says ]to last 9(7:9:7:9)sts work as given in book, yo, s1, k1, psso, knit to end.




The Queensland Collection Book 9

Ansley Page 60
For the back it asks you to cast on with 4mm (US 6) needles. This is incorrect.
It should say:
5mm (US 8) needles




The Mirasol Collection Book 3

llika Page 72
The instructions for the collar are incorrect.
After Shaping shawl collar it says Next 2 rows: all these Next 2 rows should read Next row:




Knitting Noro

Silk Garden Chunky on Page 15
The meterage and yardage for this yarn is incorrect it should be;
60m (66yds)

Ribbed Vest on Page 28
Under Shape Armhole and left neck on the Front it refers you to page 23, it says:
Complete as for Basic Tank from Shape Armhole and Left Neck (page 23),
It should read:
Complete as for V-Neck Tank from Shape Armhole and Left Neck (page 25),

Cropped Coat on Page 81
The 1st rib row and 2nd rib row for the RIGHT FRONT are incorrect, they should read:
1st rib row: k6, [p2, k2]to end.
2nd rib row: [p2, k2]to last 6sts, p6.

Cowl Cover Up on Page 86
The paragraph at the top of the page mentions that The unusual colouring effects are produced by knitting with two strands of yarn held together..
This is incorrect for this pattern, one strand is used throughout.

Long Coat on Page 93
The 2nd pattern row for the RIGHT FRONT is incorrect, it should read:
2nd pattern row: [p2, k2]to last 6sts, p2, k4.

Basic Fitted Cardigan on Page 97
The instructions for the LEFT FRONT after the Shape Armhole are incorrect.
The 4th line after Shape Armhole should read:

Decrease 1 stitch at armhole edge of next row.
Then decrease 1 stitch at armhole edge of every 4th row 3 times.

This is the same for the RIGHT FRONT as well, the 'each end' should read 'armhole edge'

Unfortunately two of the Wrap patterns have been placed with the wrong pictures.

The picture on page 118 is the basic wrap, the pattern for this is on page 120.

The pictures on page 120 and page 121 are for the shawl, the pattern for this is on page 119.

Pattern on Page 119
Under YARN it says Silk Garden. This is incorrect it should read;
Silk Garden Lite, 45% silk/45%mohair/10% lambswool, 50g, each approximately 125m (137yds) shade 2011.

Pattern on Page 120
The instructions for the 3rd pattern row should read;
....to last 2 stitches, work as given in book, yo, s1, k1, psso.

There is an error for the second size (small) only in the shape neck instruction.

LEFT FRONT, follow pattern as written until the after the shape armhole and neck and when it gets to Next row;
Next row: patt 17(16:19:19:21)sts, slip these sts onto a holder, turn, patt to end. 27(32:36:40:45)sts

This then effects the collar, as the stitches to pick up from the holders at right front and left front should be 16sts, with the total amount picked up then at 153sts.
So it should read;

collar
