Design Corrections

For designs not listed below, try: Sherry's TW ErrataPage.

Cross-Stitch Designs:

Holly and Ivy Sampler:

  • Over-one chart: The bold dots (which are shown on the code as petite royal plum beads) should be bold squares (DMC 3362) instead. This includes the dots in the little holly leaf motifs as well.

  • The backstitch lines in the over-one lettering should be stitched using one strand 3362.

  • A backstitch line is missing: On page 6 of the chart booklet, part of the backstitch line between the gold border and the whitework border is missing.

  • Instructions for straight stitching the single line "rays" of the over-one sun were omitted: they should be stitched using two strands of DMC 676.

Tropical Dream:

  • Incorrect number listing for the Kreinik Ombre fiber: it should be #3200 instead of #032 .

The Fortunate Traveler (1st printing):

  • Over-one chart: The bird contains the symbol "+" which was omitted from the color code. It should be stitched using DMC 453. This color is represented in the code by another symbol: both symbols should be stitched using DMC 453.

  • Alternate spelling of "Traveller" chart (on page 19 of leaflet): The center arrows are located in the wrong place. Move the arrows to the right (7) seven chart blocks.

  • The design stitch count listed in the leaflet is incorrect. It should be: 244H X 194W.

  • Anchor color number error: The Anchor color number for ecru is 387. In the color code, it's listed as 02, which is Anchor's number for brillant white.

Celtic Knotwork Crosses:

  • p.7: Blue Green Knotwork Cross with Border. The Kreinik Silk Mori Color Dk. Victorian Green is incorrectly listed as #4116. The number should be #4166.

The Princess and the Dragon:

  • A symbol was omitted from the color code: the symbol is Omega, and the DMC color number is 3770.

  • A symbol was omitted from the color code: the symbol is "<<" and the DMC color number is 818.

The Twelve Days of Christmas:

  • In the holly spray at the corners there is a star symbol for 3362, dark pine green. In all the other charts this has become a small solid circle which doesn't appear in the symbol/floss numbers list. In all cases it should be stitched in 3362.

  • These are not errors, but for those who prefer perfect symmetry, you should note the following: -Letter spacing for days 6, 8, and 10. The spacing between the holly sprays and the words ÒOnÓ and ÒDayÓ have the following spacing differences:
    Holly spray [3] On *6th* Day [5] Holly spray
    Holly spray [3] On *8th* Day [5] Holly spray
    Holly spray [2] On *10th* Day [4] Holly spray

  • Day 1:
    1. An upside down 'E' on the leaf furthest to the right.
    2. An arrow that faces the wrong way just under the tail feathers. It is meant to be 3362.
    3. A diamond symbol near the left of the pear in the middle is rotated.
    4. In the center of the partridge: a dot " . " (color Blanc) that's almost covered over by the center grid line.
    5. Lettering: words are all 4 spaces away from the inner border except for "my true love" which is 5 spaces away. Change to 4 spaces to match the rest.

  • Day 3:
    1. A rotated diamond symbol (3363)
    2. Backstitching that overlaps the blade of grass on the hen's foot.

  • Day 6:
    Border: The holly sprays are missing 3 rows of symbols on each side. They should be the same as the rest of the border segments.

  • Day 7:
    There's a rotated 'E' symbol in the reeds behind the swan's neck.

Woodland Angel Stocking:

  • There is an extra symbol listed in the code that was not used in the design. It looks like a backward "L" with a dot. The DMC colors listed for the symbol are: 739/3823.

  • The DMC color 3823 is therefore not needed for the design. It is listed in the Materials List on page 12.

Knotwork Bookmarks II:

  • The vertical stripe shading in bookmark patterns B, C, and D has somehow printed incorrectly, and appears as dark shading instead. Corrections follow:

  • Bookmark B: Look at the ends of the bookmark pattern. The "rope" that is shown as dark shading just inside the border is correct. The other "rope" that is shown as dark shading should be the vertical stripe shading instead.

  • Bookmark C: The "ropes" that are ring-shaped and located in the center of the bookmark should alternate between light shading and vertical stripe shading.

  • Bookmark D : The "ropes" that reach to the edges of the design should be vertical stripe shading instead of dark shading. Also, at the right-hand end of the pattern, there are 4 quarter stitches (shown as dark shading) which should not be there; they are located "outside" of the backstitching, and are obvious errors.

Paisley Corner:

  • In the Cross Stitch (blue colorway) code (page 2): Several of the Anchor floss numbers are incorrect. Please change the colors numbers as follows:
    893 to 117
    868 to 120
    894 to 977
    1048 to 176
    1004 to 979
    895 to 941
    340 to 148
    896 to 178
    897 to 152

"You were hatched...":

  • In the mother dragon's wing, the symbol of a triangle pointing upwards (DMC 320) has been rotated 90 degrees to the right.

  • The instructions say to cross stitch the dragons' eyes using DMC 791/311 and backstitch using the #4 braid. It should be: cross stitch using the braid, and backstitch using the DMC 791.

Collaboration Designs:

Legends of the Dragons leaflet:

  • Due to chart reduction, printing problems were encountered. Some symbols, when reduced to quarter stitch size, changed appearance radically. The following are noted:

  • 1. The black triangle, DMC 680, becomes what looks like a tophat: a black square with a line at the bottom, extending out both sides, when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 2. The lower case "t", DMC 503/3053, becomes just a short vertical line when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 3. The symbol that looks like an "s" lying on it's side, DMC 677/761, becomes what looks like a lower case "n" when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 4. The asterisk (*), DMC 504/524/032, becomes just a mark when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 5. The = with a slash, DMC 502/3052, becomes what looks like a written (cursive) "c" (one of the horizontal lines of the = is missing) when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 6. The heavy "+", DMC 729/3712, becomes half of a "+" : the top part and the right hand part are gone when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 7. The heavy black dot: DMC 930/3746, becomes a square instead of staying round when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 8. The "Y" with two horizontal lines through it, DMC 340/931, loses the two horizontal lines when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 9. The "Z" with a line through it horizontally, DMC 932, changes enough to make it difficult to recognize: the line through the "Z" becomes much longer when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 10. The "C" with a dot in the center, DMC 340, becomes what looks like a capital "E" when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 11. The upper case "S", DMC 503/932, becomes just a squiggle when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 12. The "#", DMC 502/932, becomes what looks like a flag with a pole, the flag pointing to the right when reduced to quarter stitch size.
  • 13. The dash with two vertical lines, DMC 543, becomes a tiny "L" when reduced to quarter stitch size.

Legends of the Spellcasters:

  • A symbol is used twice: The "open heart" symbol is listed for both DMC 3042, and for DMC blend 741/743. For Prince Nicholas, use 3042. For Ember, use 741/743.The symbol is not used for Wizard Draike.
