One tries one’s best, but ‘best’ isn’t ‘perfect’. It turns out there’s an error (admittedly not mine, but I didn’t catch it in the proof) in the Draper pattern:

The chart key is incorrect. It should specify knit: ‘knit on rs, purl on ws’ and purl: ‘purl on rs, knit on ws’, but only has ‘knit’ and ‘purl’, which has led to some interesting results, all told.
Well, I won’t forget to check the chart key next time! Though I doubt that’s much comfort to those knitters who just discovered they have to rip out half a lace shawl :(
In good news, I am soooo darn close to publishing this pattern:

I can almost taste it.
Little by little, we progress :)
I was wondering about that when I started the chart! I am almost done with the second stockinette tier, and have done enough frogging for one project, so I think I’m just going to leave it!
Pretty pattern! We just got the heichi book in the shop, and it is beautiful.
So, I finally knit a sweater out of yarn you helped me dye ages ago. Thought I would show it off! http://geekyyarn.blogspot.com/2011/03/finished-project.html
