Updated again: Fyberspates sock pattern, Simply Knitting issue 55 - errata

If you're thinking of knitting Karen Wessel's gorgeous socks which are the bonus pattern with issue 55 of Simply Knitting, please note that there is an error in the pattern.

Round 37 should read: "K2cc, K2ss repeat until end" and not "K1cc, K2ss repeat until end"

There's also a problem with the instructions for Rounds 38-48. It should read "Repeat rounds 34-37 twice", not once as written.

We apologise for the mistakes, and hope you enjoy knitting these stunning socks!

Updated: Several people have written in asking for the charts for these socks, and we are now able to make them available: Fyberspates Socks Chart (PDF). Please note that this is not a complete pattern. These charts can be used in addition to the pattern in the magazine if you prefer to work from them.

This chart is a PDF document. It won’t open unless you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. You can download this program from the Adobe website for free. If you have Acrobat Reader and it’s still not working, try right-clicking the link and clicking “save as”. Save the document onto your computer – make sure you can find it again! – and try opening it from there.

Are you sure?this still doesn't seem right to me? Rows 38-48 still don't seem to work out.

It still doesn't match the picture of the socks. I think 34 - 37 should only be repeated once on the first zig zag but twice on the second zigzag. The chart also shows some of the zigzag over 6 rows. It is confusing and needs to be checked in detail. I'm enjoying the knitting so far but have stopped at the first repeat of rows 34 - 37 until further notice.
Thanks for any advice/help.

Due to current frustration with the "stained glass" sock pattern, I made my own chart from the instructions. The zigs go left and the zags go right, correct? From the corrected pattern, my chart reads:-
8 zig rows left
15 zag rows right
6 zig rows left
10 zag rows right
4 zig rows left
This is a very irregular zigzag!
Also on instruction for rounds 59 - 64, I think the instructions should read Repeat rows 55-58 and then rows 55 and 56.
I would really appreciate someone working through this pattern to correct all the mistakes. I love the socks but can't proceed past the first 37 rows.
Help please. I am an experienced knitter but this pattern is becoming a major frustration!

Well I just followed the corrections as suggested and although I now have uneven zigzags which don't really look like the photo they are still pretty cool! In fact I quite like the uneveness it's a little less obvious. I really wish that the pattern was clearer though!

I'm stuck on the "Turn the Heel" part of the sock pattern. It says row 10 (RS) Slip 1, *K1ss,K2 cc,K1ss,* for 21 sts, K2 cc for 23 sts, K2tog ss, K1 ss (this will change the colour of the stitch) There are now 26 heel stitches in total.

This totally doesn't make sense to me. I understand up to the 21 sts, but then I'm lost....

Any suggestions???
