I have been alerted to a couple more mistakes in my book Frisian Whitework: Dutch Embroidery from Friesland. Previously listed mistakes can be found here.
They are as follows:
Page 39: stitches and techniques listing – Four thread eyelets are listed but are not used in this project. Algerian eyelets are actually used. Their stitch instructions are found on pages 80 and 81.
Page 39: Row 3 – the eyelet in the middle of the star is worked in 945.
Page 39: Row 6 – “Four thread eyelets” should be “Algerian eyelets”. If you have already stitched the project using four thread eyelets, there is no problem with this. It isn’t wrong, it’s just different! They fit in exactly the same positions, and also look beautiful. I definitely would not change them over to Algerian eyelets if you’ve already stitched four thread eyelets!
My sincere apologies for these mistakes. Despite a thorough checking process, unfortunately mistakes do creep through and go to print. I am always incredibly grateful to people who let me know of any mistakes.
