Minor Setback

So, here I was, happily knitting along on my Vernal Equinox shawl when all of a sudden, I realized I was missing a stitch. In looking at the pattern, it had been missing for awhile. Dang. As my friend said about this section, "it's deceptively easy." She was right. See, I think she meant that you get lulled into the simpler pattern and well, make more mistakes. I got lazy in counting my stitches every marker, so I dropped my stitch and didn't realize it for quite some time. I ended up having to pull out 6 rows. That's not too bad, I suppose. It showed me something interesting. As I pulled the rows, I wound it back on the ball. The ball didn't change a whole lot in size between, so that means there's quite a bit more yarn there than I thought. I'm not as concerned as I was before that I'd run out.

This evening, we had a baseball game, so I haven't had much time to knit. I guess I could have worked on it at the field, but well... I can't seem to do stuff like that out in public, so I didn't. Currently, I'm so tired, but I'd love to finish the row I'm on. I think I'm near the end, so I think I can do that and tackle the following purl row. I would like to get back to where I was this morning.

With that, I'm going to go grab a cup of coffee and pull it back out. If I can't concentrate on it, I guess I'll do something I've never done before. Gone to bed with an unfinished row. *gasp*
