Oh holy hell

Remember that new sweater I started? The one I showed you a swatch of a while back?

Here's what it will look like when done, except not pink.

Pretty, eh?

So here is what the back looked like this morning.

And a closeup of that cable/lace pattern.

I finished that section yesterday. This morning before I headed off to work, I did the first row on the plain stockinette section, putting in the stitch markers as I went to mark where the waist shaping goes.

45 stitches, marker, 43 stitches, marker, 45 stitches. Wait, there are more stitches. I counted again. Then I realized that the "leftover" stitches were exactly ONE 14 stitch repeat worth of stitches.

Here are your choices:

A. I can't count.

B. I cast on and knit that whole f'ing section using the wrong size numbers.

Yup.

I stuffed the whole thing in a bag and went to work. I prayed to the knitting gods that it would be fixed by the time I got home.

Here it is now.

If this wasn't damned expensive Rowan Cotton Cashmere, I can tell you, I'd be tempted to build a bonfire with it. This better go as planned the next time.
