Many, many thanks to Amanda in the UK! She pointed out an error in my Mermaid spreadsheet. Something that I either skipped over entirely or completely misinterpreted. Who knows.
The shoulder edge after the collar is supposed to match the hem edge. Hints of that crop up in the gusset treatment at the shoulder and at the back of the neck. I don't know why I missed it.
For those of you who already have my spreadsheet, I apologize. I sent an e-mail earlier explaining the problem. First thing tomorrow morning, I'll work on correcting it and send out an update. You need to decide whether to keep working on it as you have been or whether to redo it.
If you've asked for the spreadsheet, understandably, I'm not going to send it out before I correct it.
I'd like to say that this error was because I hadn't test-knit it myself, but I'm well past that point in the spreadsheet and was just flying right along. I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point myself. I may frog it all as penance.

Amy mine is done and it's gorgeous if I do say so myself. I followed your spreadsheet so I don't think it's a big deal. Now what would it take you to "interpret" other HF patterns, I've got four more awaiting.LOL I really want to do the Crossed in Translation and have all the materials awaiting also.
Amy, don't feel bad. As the others have said, the work you have put into the spreadsheet is amazing and I am truly appreciative. I can't imagine doing it without the spreadsheet. We are spoiled. I completely agree that you should take on all the other patterns, too! I wish! How about Diva? Do you take bribes?

The latest mistake in the pattern affects how the shoulder seams look. If you go dig up NotAnArtist's photos, you'll see a clear shot of that seam. Done the "right" way, I think. The way I charted it out originally, you won't get the same detail.
For everyone else hoping I'll chart another Falkenberg pattern...I'm not sure what I'm doing after this jacket. I have a few other things I'd like to try first. Including maybe a Vivian Hoxbro pattern. So it might be a while before I get back to Hanne. Sorry!
