North Pole Blanket
Oops! We apologize for the production error in the November/December 2012 issue. You may have noticed that page 54 was printed in error (it's actually a reprint of page 58). Download the correct page 54 here to finish your North Pole Blanket. Again, we are very sorry for the error!
Correction, page 52:
Round 2 Slip stitch in next ch-1 space (not ch-2 space).
Miss Moneypenny Purse
You need a 3.5-inch metal frame (not 8.5-inch, as listed in the pattern). These are available from many online sources, including this etsy shop. Here is another frame style that should work.
Girlfriend Cowl
What You'll Need Color E should be #550 Dahlia, not #500 Tropical.
Solstice Tote
Bag Base, pg 76 The color letters are reversed, so the Bag Base and Handle should be made with B, Super Saver. The Ruffles should be made with A, Boutique Sashay. (The color letters are correct in the What You'll Need list on pg. 75.)

Submitted by phyllislittle on Mon, 2012-12-03 10:58.I have tried this pattern which says "Round two: the end says "do 3 times & end with 40 stitches."
I don't know how to do it and end up with 40 stitches.
Hi Phyllis, repeat just the
Submitted by msalume on Mon, 2012-12-03 13:11.Hi Phyllis, repeat just the section inside the square brackets three times (not the entire row).
That section says:
[change to B, 2 dc in next st, dc in next st, 2 dc in next st; change to C, dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, dc in next st].
After working the entire round, you should have 40 double crochet stitches.

Hi Ingrid, You are working
Submitted by msalume on Mon, 2012-11-19 11:42.Hi Ingrid, You are working the single crochet OVER the cord, encasing it with yarn. It's the same way that you work INTO a ring.
OK That makes sense. I have
Submitted by Ingrid Struemph on Mon, 2012-11-19 13:38.OK That makes sense. I have another question. I says to cover cord end with yarn. Does it mean whip stitch or something else?
