Laura Says Whoops!

Poor Laura Perin has discovered mistakes in her new Bargello and Butterfly chart.  Rats!  Fortunately, the mistakes are small ones.  There's a missing thread and two symbols on the chart are linked to the wrong colors.  Switch them and you are good to go!

She's also found a typo in the Bargello and Carnations chart.
