Argh. Or oops. Or darn it! Or some other frustrated sound goes here.
I was knitting merrily along on my Serpentine Mitts, chatting happily at Knit Group, and not paying much attention because it’s an easy knit. Right? Right.
Go ahead. Laugh. You know what happens next.
Yup. A mistake.
Can’t see it? Here, how’s this:
I skipped the last bit of the cable pattern. Quite accidentally, too. I got to the right number of thumb stitches, and mistakenly thought I was done with the cable. So I knit the end ribbing and bound off, and then held the two mitts together and tried to figure out why they were different lengths.
Alas, now I have to rip out a bound-off edge and add the rest of the cable. Ah well. It could be worse. I could have also finished the thumb before getting to this point…

D’oh! Was it one of those evil “while at the same time” instructions?!
Aw that’s a shame! You were so close to being done! I love cabling though!
Arrrggghh!
