Knit. Frog. Knit again.

I've been working on the Shavo sweater from Berocco. It's a simple enough thing, with the promise of much mindless knitting.

Enter the Knitter with No Mind (or Brain).

I got to the upper part which is a simple (can I use simple again to show just how bad an oops this was?) knit/purl sort of thing - and immediately read a portion of the pattern as being 1 x 1 rib. I finished the back, and looked at it with a critical eye.

Eh.

I began the front, and just about the time I went to work on the patterned portion, I decided to look at the pattern again. Yeah... 1 x 1 rib. Except....

In the picture, it was clearly seed stitch.

Look at the pattern.

Look at the picture.

Look at the sweater.

Weep a bit.

Frog.

I will say, it looks so much better as seed stitch. I know I'll be happier with it... but, damn.
