Errata
In the words of Maggie Righetti “That errors creep in is a massive understatement. That they are unintentional goes without saying.” If something got away from us in the editing process, we’ll catch it sooner or later (with a little help from our readers) and we’ll put it here. And please do let us know if you think you’ve found an error, because working from patterns with mistakes is no fun.

EMBELLISH issue 33 – Leaf Shadows: A Boro-inspired project (Thread and Needle Keeper) Andrea Taylor (page 33)
Andrea sent in some additional instructions for adding a tie to the thread and needle keeper – unfortunately too late to go into print, so we have them here for you ☺:
To Finish
A fine twisted cord or narrow ribbon, approx 50 cm long, can be attached to the middle of the straight edge of the loose flap side, so your thread keeper can be tied and secured.
Find the centre of your cord or ribbon, stitch it to the halfway point on the outside and camouflage the area with a decorative button or bead stitched over the join. Tie a knot at the end of each twisted cord and trim, or cut the ribbon on a slant.
Now enjoy your useful and decorative thread keeper.

The techniques that I used were: wool felt for the background and the lotus flowers, and then wool roving for the stems, letters, and flower highlights. My inspiration was an Indian textile pattern I saw in a catalogue.

Yarn issue 14 Soft Embrace Scarf (updated 5 June 2009)
The written instructions and chart are both correct for this gorgeous scarf. Above the chart it says “Work charts as they appear but do not work stitch between each chart”. The original charts were supplied in three parts, with a gap between each, but we combined the charts to avoid confusion. The above comment should have been deleted. Below the chart is says “12 Stitch Repeat” but does not show 12 stitches. Please ingnore, as the resizing and combining of charts made the repeat line short.

= ____cm x 2.3 = ____(Fc) sts.”
At the bottom of Page 34, the wording should state “Now, over the page, fill in your own schematic, and write your answers in the spaces provided”. Page 35 is omitted from the PDF – this page is a whole page photo of the vest only.
