I’ll be back in a few days…just trying to get some stuff finished up.
Still here, still knitting. Just BUSY.

OK, first, let me apologize for how long it is taking me to compile all of the errata.
Things have been hectic over here…I’ve transitioned from full-time scientist / part time knitter to part-time University instructor / part time knitter. For a while there, I was doing both a full-time job AND teaching, AND writing 2 books, AND getting ready for the baby.
I’m trying to compile all of the errata myself, with the help of the book’s technical editor, and get them all submitted to the publisher for inclusion in future editions of the book. It’s taking a while to go through all of the posts on all of the message boards, all of the comments on the blog, and all of the emails and figure out what’s really errata, etc., and get those pages updated. It’s an arduous process, but we’re working on it!
I’m finally getting caught up…
Here are the errata for the U-neck / back to school vest:
Upper front
Dec 1 st at beg of next 12 (12, 12, 12, 14, 14, 16, 16) rows–68 (72, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 88) sts.
Front neck
Row 2: Bind off 24 (28, 28, 30, 28, 30, 32, 32) sts, work to end.
Upper back
Dec 1 st at each end of next 6 (7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9) rows–44 (46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 58, 62) sts.
If that doesn’t solve the problem, please let me know!

**This pattern has been tested by the Glampyre Knits TestLab. This time a whole Community College knitting class tested the pattern for us! The knitters were of varying ages, sizes, and skill levels and we took their input SERIOUSLY. We also included knitters from several different countries with different native languages and access to unique substitution yarns. Knitters found the pattern to be clear, and the worsted weight of the yarn easy to substitute.**
OK, I’ve got a Christmas present to knit, and knit FAST, since we’ve got Thanksgivingmas in about a month.
I want to make a hat / scarf set for an 18-yr-old college guy. Who is into sports. Who would not like “funky”.
Last time I made him the Marsan Watchcap…and he’s been wearing it for at least 3 years.
Are there any new coolguy hat patterns I should be aware of? How about “guy scarves?” Something textural, but not color-heavy.
Thanks!
