too many mistakes in patterns
I have done the Blue Star pattern and, as others have discovered, it has lots of errors. Am working on the the first panel of the Stained Glass pattern and the instructions for this also has serious errors besides being just plain poorly written. There is not enough detail for the stitches in all of the different areas etc of the pattern. It is obvious from the pictures that the stitches are different but it is too hard to determine what the stitch sequence should be and they really aren't given in the pattern instructions. I am probably going to have to start all over and determine from the pictures what color goes where for the areas from one triangle to another because the instructions provided do not produce the color pattern in the picture and it is not an eye pleasing pattern that is produced following the instructions. This is a lot of wasted yarn because I hide ends well. It has taken several weeks to get this far so I have wasted a lot of time also. Given the frequency of errors in pattern instructions, the very least they could do is follow the lead of other publishers and either include a sheet with the correcting information with the book or have a place on their website where the correct patterns are available. Even more importantly they should quit selling a book with so many errors. Level of difficulty indicated with three yarn balls has, so far in my experience, indicated that the difficulty is related as much to the problems with the pattern instructions as to the pattern itself.
