Find the error

Well I have been making great progress on Rage Management.  I finished the body and one sleeve and have started the second sleeve.  Or, more exactly I thought I had finished the body.

I was pinning it to the blocking board today, oh so proud of myself for being almost finished with a sweater and looking forward to starting the next one.  I even thought I could give myself a little bit of a treat and wind up the yarn for the next project tonight.

But then, I realized that something was amiss.  In fact there is something terribly wrong with this sweater, wrong enough that it was quite obvious even through my self-congratulatory fog.  It was obvious even though my mental faculties are somewhat crippled by a head cold and a two-day old sinus headache. 

If you haven't noticed yet, it will be quite obvious in the next photo:

Notice the lovely garter ridges made by the pattern stitches on the back?  Look at how plain the front appears in comparison.  I was supposed to do the same pattern stitches and continue the garter ridges. 

Somehow I forgot.

It is not that it is not that much knitting.  The pieces are really quite small, it is more that I would have rather not made such a silly mistake, and then, I would have rather realized the extent of my error before I washed and blocked the sweater.  I see that it really does help to pay attention to what one is doing.

Bummer.

Well, I have already started the last sleeve and there are no garter ridges on the sleeves.  Besides the pieces have to dry now.

Thanks for showing this. Yesterday I had to take out about one fourth of a (completed) knitting project because of my mistakes. Somehow it's a bit of a relief to know that I'm not the only person who may get a little lost - in thought? in the rhythm of the stitch? in the race to the end?
Enjoy wearing it, once it's done!
