Flicca:
There is an error in the given measurements for the armhole depth on the front pieces of the smallest sizes. I know that some people have made this cardigan, and the error is only 0.5 inch, so it seems the mistake does not prevent a successful knit. The correct measurements are shown in bold below, and this evening an updated version of the pattern will be in the shop and sent out to everyone who purchased Flicca.
Thanks to those who brought this to my attention.
Sizes 91 [102: 112] cm (36.5 [40: 44] inches) only
Left front
Shape neck and shoulder: (RS) Keeping stitch pattern correct throughout, dec 1 st at end of next and each alt row until 11 [12: 13] sts rem. Cont without shaping until armhole meas 19 [20.5: 21.5] cm (7.5 [8: 8.5] inches), ending with a WS row.
Right front
Shape neck and shoulder: (RS) Keeping stitch pattern correct throughout, dec 1 st at end of next and each alt row until 11 [12: 13] sts rem. Cont without shaping until armhole meas 19 [20.5: 21.5] cm (7.5 [8: 8.5] inches), ending with a RS row.

Keeping patterns up to date
Whenever I publish errata here, I also update the .pdf available for download. At the same time, I generally email everyone who has previously purchased the pattern with the new version, so that their copies are up to date.
However, inevitably, I get a number of error messages and bouncebacks, and so not everybody gets their new copy. If you have a version of a pattern which does not have its errors corrected, and you would like one, contact me with details of your original purchase and I will send you the latest.

Bridie:
There are errors on the left front piece. I know that some people have successfully made this cardigan, presumably by following their intuition about the shaping, but the instructions for the left front shaping should read like this (changes shown in bold):
Cont from Row 2 in lattice pattern as set.
Taking new sts into pattern (except last stitch of each row (selvedge st)), inc 1 st at beg of 9th (RS) and each foll 10th row until there are 44 [48: 50: 54: 56: 60] sts.
Next row (RS), place marker: Pattern 3 sts, place marker, pattern to end. Stitch marker will show you how many stitches you have increased at underarm edge (3 so far).
Cont in pattern, increasing at beg of each 10th row until there are 7 sts to right of marker.
AT THE SAME TIME: When work meas 26.5 [26.5 : 28: 28: 29: 29] cm (10.5 [10.5: 11: 11: 11.5: 11.5 inches), start shaping left front neck (etc from pattern)

Badcaul socks:

Cherry:
Aaaaiiyy.
Some knitters are still running low on yarn. I am SO sorry about this - I don't understand why my amounts were so far off, the one I made definitely used less than 5 balls: I am looking at the unused sixth ball as I write this!
So, I'll be updating the pattern and increasing the yarn amounts again. In the meantime, if you can, please buy extra yarn or ask your LYS if they will keep a ball or two on hold for you in case you need them.
Apologies again. I know exactly how annoying it is to run out of yarn on a project. Henceforth I will be more generous with my estimated requirements - much less annoying to have too much yarn than too little.

Sgt Pepper:
Left front hem and Right front hem have incorrect final stitch counts. Correct stitch count is 40 (43: 46: 49: 52) sts.
In instructions for the collar, pattern reads: "Purl next row to make turning row. Purl 1 row. Purl next row." The correct version is: "Purl next row to make turning row. Purl 1 row. Knit next row."

Bridie:
Right front neck reads: "RS facing, inc 1 st at beg of row and at same edge of next 2 rows.
Next row (RS), place marker:" (RS) should read (WS).
Also, some knitters have found the stated button size to be too small. You may wish to use a larger size.

Corrections
I have a several errata to file, so I may as well do them all at once. And I've created a new 'category' for them all, so the site will read like a litany of my sins while your RSS feeds update and I clear my backlog. They say confession is good for the soul.
