So I didn't get enough of valance/curtain knitting when I finished the Dappled Lace Café Curtain last week. Now I am working on the Bubbly Curtain in the Mason Dixon Knitting book. Yesterday while translating the chart into written instructions I had to take a step back and scratch my head. You see the instructions said the pattern repeat is over 18 stitches however the chart only had 17 columns. I thought I might have been shot out into another existence or something had short circuited in my head. But then I realized there just may be a published errata for this chart. So off to the World Wide Web I went and low and behold I found it. But now I am really pondering what folks, including my Grandma, did before the World Wide Web. In my Grandma's case, what did she do when she was left scratching her head while embarking to make that special sweater for one of her 8 darling children because the directions and/or chart didn't make sense. I wish Grammy where here to see how far her beloved knitting has come. She would really be tickled I think.....
