Some nice knitters who got early copies have let me know (nicely) about a few problems.
Page 63, Baby Capybara, body and head
At the beginning of this section, you should cast 4 stitches onto 1 DPN, not 3 DPNs.
Page 70, Baby Cakes’ Frosting
After Row 122 in the frosting section, this sentence should be added:
Break the yarn and draw it tightly through the stitches with a tapestry needle.
Page 81, Big Mike’s Tomato
The finishing instructions were omitted.
After completing Rnd 65, lightly stuff the piece. After completing Rnd 67, break the yarn and draw it tightly through the stitches with a tapestry needle.
Page 90, Roland’s Shell
This is how the section should read:
With A, cast on 37 stitches onto the circular needle to work flat.

Bind off all stitches.
And the book is missing the explanation for m1.
Page 104, Buddy Boy’s Headlights
The color work noted for Row 13 is incorrect. It should read:
Row 13: P1C [p1E, p1C] to end.
Page 103 & 105, Buddy Boy’s Flames
The chart on page 105 is noted to have 9 rounds, but it’s only 7. Aside from the round count, the chart is correct.
If you spot any other problems with the patterns in this book or in any of my patterns, please get in touch! Sometimes mistakes that seem obvious get missed by lots of people, and you may be the first to tell me about it.
I received my autographed book yesterday! I am anxious to get knitting this weekend! :) Thanks so much, and I’m already excited about your future book!
Oh, good timing! I was just about to CO for this project. Thanks for the errata!
Thank you!!! I just got to this line in the pattern and thought it looked wrong to me. this is great!
