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 6 - 15 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 7 - 17 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 4.
- Rnd 8 - 21 sts per side. Next rnd increases by 2.
- Rnd 9 - 23 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.

For those of us that bought the 1st Edition of your book, can we go somewhere to get the correct copy of your Christmas journey? It would be so much easier to use that instead of our books and the sticky notes. Because right now, I can’t work on it. Thank you for everything you do for us, Mikey, I really appreciate it. I’m left-handed and it’s so nice to see tutorials for left-handers…. Some of the patterns are very hard to change it into my way of thinking..
Thanks again,
Michele

The third printing has to be done to have a correction of the book so far. We only have this page at this time. I'm sorry. We did everything we could to find errors. It's why Book 2 was cancelled. I cannot produce an error free book and I know it's frustrating for everyone.

Thanks for answering my question about the Bobblet stitch. Don't feel bad about the mistakes/oversights. My eldest brother is a poet and he had to have errata sheets printed and inserted into the first 2 chapbooks of poetry he wrote and had published. The first chapbook had a full page off errata that had to be inserted. When words are missing or misspelled in a poem it's just like a mistake in a crochet pattern, leaves the author and the reader frustrated. I teased him and told him I should have been his proof reader, I have a pretty good knack for catching typos. Blessings to you Michael. Looking forward to your video on the star of the show.

Hi
I love love this book!
Cruising along with Jeanne’s pattern , Into the Light…waiting for more yarn to arrive. I can’t wait to finish so I can share.
I’m using Jeanne’s baby blanket, With love, for our next great granddaughter! And I need her help! I don’t know what to do on Row 14, with all those loops, from rows 11, 12, and 13. Obviously, I am misreading something, somewhere. Or just making it hard??♀️
After these two, I’m moving onto To The Journey! And hopefully, then find time for the winter CAL. Of course, I will!
Thank you all so much for the book! There’s room for the next however many!

Daniel's blanket has the same loops. You will loop the chains and then the 14th row will secure the final loop so it doesn't undo itself. See this article as there is a video attached as well. https://thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-blizzard-snowflake-afghan-pattern/
