See that leftward crossing cable to the left, four rows back? It should be rightward crossing. D'oh.
Luckily(?), I screw up like this all the time, so I have had lots of practice with fixing. I could tink back those four rows, but given that this is a top-down, heavily cabled sweater with set-in sleeves, all knit at the same time, there are MANY stitches on the needles and unknitting that much would be a bummer. I much prefer dropping down just the involved stitches, however many rows, and knitting them back up correctly. (Demo of this technique here:
Part 1 and
Part 2.) It's a little fiddly, but much less so than the alternative.
Woot! All better!Elapsed time: 11 minutes.
I wish all my knitting mistakes were so easily fixed.

That's so cool! Too bad lace surgery is so much more difficult. :(
What the . . . that's brilliant. I have been known to rip the whole damn thing out in a fit of rage. That's going to be amazing when it's done.
You are brave! I can do that with an errant purl but cables? Yikes!
