Errata for Herbaceous!


Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused!  After my excellent test knitters worked through the pattern, I must have created these snafu in my editing. 
1.  On row 11 of the written directions of the Ear of grass it shows to:
     SSK, K2, YO, K3, P1, K3, YO, K2, K2tog
     ON the written directions it reads:
     SSK, K2, YO, K3, P1, K1, YO, K4, K2tog
The chart is correct.
 
2.  For the leg charted directions (p.4) on odd rounds:

     There should be an "ear of corn" symbol on the left hand side of of the chart.

3.  For the Even rounds chart, the * symbol should actually be the ⊙ symbol.
