uh oh
Around dinnertime yesterday, less than 48 hours from when I started it, I bound off for the sleeves of my Trellis. That's two and a half pattern repeats -- 51 rows -- 6,681 stitches -- so far. I was sooo proud of myself. Ha.
Then I noticed the mistake. It's a really, really big one.
I'm not going to go into the details here, because I feel like an idiot. It was one of those things where the whole time I was knitting, I thought, "hmmm, that's a little odd." But it wasn't until I stopped and took a good look at it that I realized what I had done. We're talking, if there were Darwin Awards for knitters, I'd be in the running.
To the untrained eye, not a huge deal. To me...well, I think I might be able to alter the pattern a bit to accommodate my glaring error. But I'm not sure that it wouldn't drive me completely crazy. I *so* should have waited for Jenny's spreadsheet.
Sooo...frog 5,563 stitches? Or keep going? Ack.
On second thought, I'll post a picture and the first person to identify the horrifying error will win a special prize!!

I'm not sure, but are those seed stitch panels not correct? It doesn't look like they're in the original. Is that cheating, looking at the pattern? ;)
No, you're allowed to look at the pattern...you're very warm.....
Is one panel of the seed stitches too wide? And no looking at the pattern Meredith!
i'm going to say the seed stitched panels are backwards - though it looks fabulous anyway. . .
Though. . . next to the middle cable - to the left - there's what looks like about an inch of flat stitches that appears to not be on the other side of that cable - could just be the way it's laying though.
Getting warmer...I made a very specific mistake, and yes, looking at the pattern will definitely help you figure it out. ;)
Despite the mistake (what ever it is) the pattern is beautiful - the color change really made a huge difference.
Color me blind, I don't see a specific faux pas...I see a 'bump' of some sort between a column and seed st panel...and I think it's a camera error.
Whatever the error...it looks great to me...Please, what is it?!
