Corrections in the Summer 2010 issue of Spin-Off magazine

Undulating Scarf by Adriana Schoenberg, page 50

We're very sorry about the incorrect directions for making a center double decrease. The directions should be as follows:

CDI = Center double increase. The CDI is made into one stitch: Knit into back and front of next stitch and then knit into back of vertical bar between those stitches.
Further clarification: Once you’ve knit into the back and front of the stitch, there will be a tiny vertical strand between the 2 new stitches–lift that strand and put it on left needle and knit into back of it.  The increase makes a total of 3 sts where there had been 1 st before. It’s a special double increase.

Jeannine Bakriges wishes to thank Elizabeth Johnson for modeling for her article, "Drafting Techniques: The long and short of it."

The word "next" needs to be removed from the second sentence.  The first sentence IS correct but the "  next" implies that more than a single stitch is involved.  the "Further clarification" attempts to make it apparent that only one stitch is involved.  Sorry to be so picky but precise instructions are very important - particularly to new knitters.

Thanks for posting the corrections!

After spinding several days attempting to workd the CDL for the undulating scarf, I took the pattern to the best knitter I know, she also had to admit defeat.

Thank thank you for printting the correction.  I have not yet tried it, but have faith that the correction is correct.

Row 16 in the same scarf only allows for a double decrease, not the CDI as the rest of the rows.  Now you will be two stitches short in the count if you don't do the double increase.  Is this another error?  Who is doing the proofreading and testing of the patterns?

I had the same question about Row 16.  But the way I got my answer was that I emailed the author of the pattern.  I was on vacation with only my cell phone and couldn't see the whole page or read it on that tiny screen, and the point of the vacation was to escape computers.  I had days of knitting time ahead of me and was all excited about this pattern.  I emailed the magazine and the writer and they supplied the information by e-mail.  It was a testament to the kindness and the commitment of these designers and the magazine.  And the pattern turns out so beautifully.  So thank you all.
