VK Holiday 2006 Aran Stocking Corrections

I just started knitting the Aran Christmas Stocking from VK Holiday 2006 and noticed a mixup with the charts. Here are the corrections they sent (quite promptly, I might add).

Vogue Knitting Holiday '06 #1 Stocking, photo on page 65, instrux begin on page 104

Chart 1, rnd 10 - sts 9 and 10 should be purl sts.

Chart 1 and Chart 2 were transposed in rnd 5 of instrux. For those of you knitting this stocking for the holidays, we apologisefor the delay. The following is a two-part correction. Please follow #1 if you have not yet begun to knit. Please follow #2 if you have knit up to rnd 79 with the incorrect chartplacement and are ready to work the heel flap. The correction willreposition the cables to match the photo.

Fortunately, I noticed it only 60sts into round 5 and didn't need to tink much. Hope this helps anyone else out there knitting it!
