Page 30 and 31: People felt the order was wrong. Was moved in the book to not break up the story. This was intentional but people prefer it not be in its place. We agree with the assessment as well.
Page 49: Tester Nancy Elliott's name was misspelled. The spacing issue between the Gauge. DK in the sentence structure. Added ( ) around #3 Weight for consistency.
Page 53: Word sunset has the T cut off of the name. An N is cut off the word of reflection.
Page 64: Stitch key shows half-double crochet. That's not used in the pattern. To be removed.

Page 52: 19th Rnd: With A, join with sl st to next ch 2 sp. Ch 1, *3 sc in each ch 2 space around. Join. Break. Turn. 240 sc.
Page 52: Diagram. The diagram shows the red arrow pointing with the shark fin reference. The first red arrow from the going right to left is pointing to the wrong stitch on rnd 19. It should be shifted over to the left 1 more stitch.
Page 53: 24th rnd: With A, join with standing sc 1 st before the join, 1 sc in next 4 sts, 1 sc in next st going through the space between the ch 3 and n9c next post of the first shark fin to pin it back. *1 sc in next 6 sts, 1 sc going through shark fin post first and next st together.

Page 54: 31st rnd: Written instructions and diagram don't match at the end of the round. Written instructions are right. The diagram shows a half-double crochet join which you can still do but you will still need to fasten off. Assigning Daniel to fix diagram before 3rd printing.
Page 57: Diagram on Rnd 46 doesn't show a sc in the beg corner when you finish the rnd.
Page 58: Diagram showing Rnd 47. Skipped stitch not shown. There should be a skipping of a stitch right out of the corner and before the corner.

To help you with stitch counts per side. The ch 1 spaces and slip stitches are not counted at the end of each of the instructions. So I am providing that here for your help. Stitch counts increase the ch 1 spaces and slip stitches per side.
I also put in the increase of what is going to happen in the next round so you can understand the increase when you do the repeats.
- Rnd 1 - 1 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 2 - 5 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 3 - 7 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 4 - 9 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 5 - 13 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.

- Rnd 7 - 17 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.

Page 109: Rows 10 and 12 have 67 puff stitches per row, not 66.
Page 117: Remove Bp Back Post from the text. I put this in as I thought it would be helpful as it's a sub-abbreviation. Dc2tog in instructions refers to a back post that should be removed.
Page 117: Dtrcl Double Treble Cluster, Yoh twice and draw up a loop in next stitch. (Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice 3 times. Yoh twice and draw up a loop in same stitch. (Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice 3 times. Yoh and draw through all 3 loops on hook.

Love, Love Love this book. I am unable to do any needlework right now due to small fracture on my wrist, so am enjoying reading the book.
Thanks for the correction list. You all are just wonderful.
Mikey says
THanks so much and any more errors we find, I will update them.
Cindy Urbat says
Error pg 117, Dtrcl? It is saying Yoh twice, should it be Yoh three times for a Dtr?
Loving the Study of the Journey pattern and the book, btw!
Mikey says
Yes, you are right. I am making an update to this page. Great catch.

back post? Where does it come from?
Mikey says
Got it... Those are errors including the Dc2tog shouldn't refer to a back post.
I have updated the article.

I would love to order the book, but am hesitant to perhaps wait until 2nd or even 3rd printing. When I finally order, how will I know which printing it is? Will Amazon state that on the site? Will it be noted on the book? Thank you in advance! looking forward to creating magic from your book!
Mikey says
For sure. I would wait until next middle of next year if you are looking for a completely error-free book. I am sure people are going to find something in the grammar and stuff. I am recording them on the website to cover that basis but if you are in no rush. I would wait. 2nd Printing just happened and I am unsure a 3rd printing will happen at this point as the cost of Paper Products (due to lumber and pulp and paper supply cost are expected to be inflated, it will raise the cost of the book.)
PATRICIA JOHNSON says
I got the 1st printing of your book. I love it! I'll make the changes as you tell me about them. No problem. Thanks for all you do for crocheters. Pat
becca l. says

Mikey says
No problem. Have a great day and thanks for letting me know.
