CHART 2 CORRECTION: Row 24, sq 23 should be purl symbol

This pattern was very difficult to proof, due to the sheer volume of the written directions. I now have corrections from at least 5 different people who have each caught something the others did not. I have chosen to chart more complex patterns in the past due to this difficulty.

I am not a written directions person. I knit from the chart.I know however that many of you would not be knitting these patterns were they only available as charts. I do not want to exclude you.

I had hoped that proofing would be enough, but in this case, it appears it was not. Again my apologies for your frustration.

If any of you written directions peeps would like to test knit, please let me know. My test knitters are chart readers & clearly I need someone to test the written directions as well.

I hope this is the end of the difficulties. I share your pain...

Hello Susan,

I'm knitting the Legolas at the moment and loving it! I did find more errors in the pattern in charts 3 and 5; I sent you a message in Ravelry.

Best regards,
Katri
