Kathleen Taylor's Dakota Dreams: BBoS in the Parade Magazine

I'll write up a report (with pictures) of this weekend's adventures at NCFF soon (tonight or tomorrow morning), but in the meantime: The Big Book of Socks was mentioned in today's issue of the Parade Magazine... which just happens to be in every Sunday paper in the entire country...

whoa...

Here's the link to the online version It's pretty darn amazing.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the corrected link

The Big Book of Socks- Errata

Classic Worsted Cable Sock Pattern-
Page 91
the instructions should read:

Cable Pattern Rnd 3: *P1, K4, P1, 2RT, 2LT*
Cable Pattern Rnd 4: *P1, K4, P1, 2LT, 2RT*
_________

Candelabra Lace Sock
-page 114
Rnd 5 of the lace pattern should read:

Rnd 5: K5, K 2 tog, YO, K1, YO, Sl 1, K1, PSSO, K4
____

Diamond Rib Lace Sock
-page 115
Rnd 5 of the lace pattern should read:

Rnd 5: YO, SL 1, K1, PSSO, K 2, YO, SL 1, K 1, PSSO, K 2 , K 2 tog, YO, K 2

The Chart on page 116 is correct, though the Legend should read :YO, SL 1, K1, PSSO
_______

Round Worsted Weight Afterthought Heel Sock
-page 31
Add to Toe Instructions: Decrease as for the heel.

Next Rnd Heel Division should read:
K 12(18, 22, 24, 26, 30), sts, place marker, K to end of rnd.
______

Round Fingering Weight Afterthought Heel Sock
-page 32, 33
Page 32 Next Rnd Heel Division should read:

K 18 (22, 26, 30, 32, 36), place marker, K to end of rnd.
Page 33, Add to Toe Instructions: Decrease as for heel.
_____

Clarification : All foot measurements in the instructions are to be measured after the heel is finished. Measure the foot flap and gusset heel socks from the gusset edge, and measure the foot for short-row heel socks from the first full round after completing the heel.
_____
When you come upon instructions that say knit as for, referring you to a different pattern for the next step (for example, to the 40 stitch flap and gusset heel), knit that portion of your heel as you would for the referred pattern. In other words, knit it in the same manner, using the same short-row technique as in the referenced instructions. Knitting "as for" does not mean that you are to use the same number of stitches (which would be impossible, since only the 40 stitch heel uses forty stitches). Work the first two rows of your listed heel instructions, and then continue in the same manner as the 40 stitch flap and gusset heel (in other words, work one more stitch on each row, before doing the decrease and turn), until you have worked across all of the stitches.

About The Free Pattern Downloads

You (individuals, not companies or corporations) may knit as many items from the Freebie Friday patterns (or any other original free patterns posted here) as you like. You may sell those items and make a bazillion dollars doing so. I would rather you didn't repost the pattern pages, or print them to hand out to others. Link to here so people can download their own copies, please. I would also prefer that you not teach the patterns as classes without contacting me first about it. Crediting the design and designer would also be nice.

I would love for people to send me jpgs of items knit from the Freebie patterns. I'll post them if any come in.
