Baby Surprise Jacket Spreadsheet Revision 2

OK people, I just realized that I gave out my Baby Surprise Jacket Spreadsheet to like tons of people and there was a HUGE error in it. Well, it's not a stitch count error, because the formula's treat me right in Excel, but it was more of reading the spreadsheet from left to right and then I accidentally switched it over to right to left when it came to the double increases.

OK, I just realized that that did not totally make a whole lot of sense, but here is the revised spreadsheet.

I am so sorry ya'll. It was the sharp eye of Rowan (Ronan in Ravelry) that totally caught the mistake. Kudos go to her big time from me!!!

Also, the very last part of the spreadsheet has been modified off by 2 stitches ala The Boy Who Knits. So again, with the disclaimer: use at your own will. I will not be responsible for any BSJ's that turn out to be BSJ's (bull shit jobs). I made the spreadsheet for my own use, and will share if you want. But it's not the Bible.

  • Thanks, Kenny! I'm on BSJ #4, and was wondering why I'd have an extra st here and there. I'll use the guide for #4 to see where I've gone wonky.

  • Thanks, Kenny. I am so grateful to you. This is BSJ #2. I did the first one in a knitting class this fall and I'm making another at the tearful request of a jealous mom-to-be. The directions are so confusing, I started my own row-by-row spreadsheet and made the same mistake you did. I'm thrilled to see and understand the mistake. BTW, I'm knitting with sixes on Trendsetter Merino VI in patriotic red, white and blue - the baby's due date and the father works on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. I even have star buttons. I'll send in a pic when it's done. Thank you very much.
