GAK!

So, I'm knitting away on the Everlasting Bagstopper and I finish the body and get to the top border.  At this point I'm supposed to switch back to the size 5 needles and garter for 10 rows.  Ok.  No biggie.  Then I happen to reread the pattern and realized I was supposed to knit the body of the bag (YO, K2TOG, rinse, repeat) on size 10.5 needles not size 15.  No wonder the knitting was so loose!!  Riiiiipp.  The Pollyanna spin on this situation is that I enjoy knitting and therefore ripping back 10" and trying to pick up 166 little loose live stitches and reknitting the whole bloody thing is just more opportunity for me to knit....which I enjoy...really...

Ack!!! I have to admit, at that point I'd be tempted to say "screw the Earth" and just use plastic bags. (I hope I don't get struck by lightning for saying that!!)
