This is an excerpt from a private email that I sent to Susan. Don't jump to conclusions too quickly about what other people are thinking.
"But I should also say that I understand this issue from an author's/designer's perspective. When writing a book one often comes up with 2 versions of a pattern and one can't decide which to use. She probably has a diagram that matches the pattern, but just grabbed the wrong one to give to the publisher. In my TORCHON BOBBIN LACE PATTERNS book (self published) I didn't work the entire edging with 4 corners for some of the designs, but just one corner. But my design wasn't symmetrical, perfectly, with the result that there would have to be 2 different corner prickings and diagrams. I only discovered my mistake after the book was finished. Writing a bobbin lace how-to manual involves incredible levels of detail accuracy. Even those of us with diagram-it is don't always get it right."
