Errata for first printing of approx. 35 patterns published in June 2002:

Written instructions for Rnd 35 should read as:
Rnd 35: K11, yo, sssp, yo, ssp, yo, k1, yo, p2tog, ssp, yo, k8, yo, p2tog, p8, ssp, yo, p1, yo, ssp, p1, yo, ssp, p5, (ssp, yo) 5 times, (p2tog, yo) 2 times, p10, ssp, yo, k9, yo, p2tog, ssp, yo, k1, yo, p2tog, yo, p3tog, yo, k11.

Symbol legend:
The description for the purl stitch symbol has a typo in the description, the second RS should read as WS.

Note (April 30/2003):
