I wanna pitch it.
I hate it.
I love it.
It's not at fault.
but I hate it.
Overall I like the patterns in the YGG (that's why I bought it), and I think they're relatively easy to follow (I dislike having to flip to the back of the book for detailed instructions, but I understand space limitations). I have met the authors and frequent their store, so I know they're intelligent, thoughtful women.
But c'mon ladies. Cut
OK. I'm done whining. Onto ripping. Poor, poor yarn. I gotta hand it to the yarn, though, it's sturdy. I'd knit with it again any time. I love the stuff.

Whoa. I'm knitting OSS right now. And there's a MISTAKE IN THE PATTERN? Help! Where does it go wrong?
I don't have the book with me right now, so this description will be a little sketchy.
When knitting the left and right front sections of the cardigan, the decreases for the arm shaping are wrong. The pattern has you decrease over a series of rows and then repeat rows 4&5 (or 5&6, I can't remember). INSTEAD, you want to repeat the LAST rows (7&8, I think) - the rows that have you BO only one st per row. If you repeat rows 4&5, you BO 2 st per row, and that's too many.
I didn't see the corrections updated on their website, but I did have an email confirmation from them that the pattern was incorrect.
Hope this helps. I bailed on making the rest of the pattern, so I no suggestions for finishing. I'd love to see a pic of your FO when it's done.
Goodness. Thanks for letting me know. I did check their site for errata, but saw nothing for this book. Luckily, I haven't started on the front yet-- you've saved me much knitting angst! We shall see how it goes from here...
