I Made A Big Mistake

Somehow I skipped a row of knitting without realizing it. Five rows later and I notice that the cabling is starting to appear on the wrong side of the work. Usually I just skip trying to fix stitches, because quite frankly I have no idea how to without completely unravelling the work. However, this was quite a noticeable error that I couldn't just leave without fixing. Thus began the most stressful knitting experience I've had to date.

The last time I unravelled my work to fix a mistake I ended up unravelling all the way to the needle (this happened at least 5 times, actually), and at this point I was a good 150 rows into the band. The last thing I wanted to do was unravel way too much of the work. After much internal debate I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. It took me a good 15-20 minutes to unravel 5 rows. I was being particularly cautious and this took much concentration. With lots of patience and perseverance I unraveled to where the missing row should go and continued on knitting without much of a problem.

Crisis averted. I'm awesome. Deal with it.
