Possible pattern errata?

(sorry, I'm not used to Typepad, and I couldn't get the picture to show, but the link works)

I am excited about this KAL, as this is my first attempt at Fair Isle and I am going to need a lot of encourgement!

I am slightly farther along this picture shows, having just started the 2nd chart, and I have noticed what seems to be a mistake in the pattern.  If you'll look at the bars of colors that separate each Fair Isle pattern, and follow it through the charts, you'll notice that they run in two's, except at the very beginning where there are three "bark" rows in succession.  I believe it should read: black (hem border) black, ash, ash, bark, bark, wood, wood... etc, instead of only one ash row and three bark rows.

If you'll look at my piece above, and compare it to the picture on the back of the pattern, I believe they have two "ash" rows... and it looks more asthetic to me, however mine does not look so bad as to make me frog it back.  I just thought I'd point it out to those who are just starting so you can make that judgment call for yourself.

Knit on!

Edited to add: Laura pointed out to me that there is only one row of "fawn".  I totally missed that, but it does seem correct and seems to correlate with the picture of the actual sweater, but I'm still "iffy" on the three rows of bark!
