Charts or Words? Some changes to Garlic & Vines

Knitters who knit from charts generally ignore words and knitters who like to work using words tend to ignore charts. It's useful to be able to do both (not at the same time) to check confusing parts of a pattern. I follow words, seldom a chart, but found it useful to consult the chart when I couldn't make the rows work out. Here's what I found:

On the Garlic & Vines word instructions, Right Side, the following changes are needed to the words only (so you can ignore this if you are only using the charts):
Row 55 should end p2, k1
Row 69: 2x, 2 times is redundant. Cross out the 2 times
Row 77: Beg segment is K1, (2/2 RC) 2x
Vine & Rib segment: (k1-b) 2x [p1, RT, p2, k1-b, p2, LT, p1] 2 times
Row 78: Vine & Rib segment should end (p1-b) 2x
Row 79: Vine & Rib segment should begin (k1-b) 2x

Knit on!
