Found another mistake...
On the very last row, in section E, the first "twist" pair should have an underline.
And I made a mistake about 10 rows down, and have to frog because it's in the XOX cable...what is the best way to frog this kind of cabling? Would you just frog the cable? Tear out the 10 rows?
Suggestions...
I'm too far to want to pull out all those 10 rows, so I need a "teacher" to help me frog back...
(thinking out loud)
Maybe I should go to the LYS...maybe 4 hands will be better than two? LOL!

Here's how I correct cables: Choose the stitches that have the error and allow them (or help them!)to drop down to the error spot. Slip those stitches that need correcting onto double pointed needles of the same size that you are using. Then, begin knitting the cable back up correctly with another double point. The rest of your knitting is there waiting for you, above! Do this repair "gently" and you will be unable to see the spot you re-knit.

All you have to frog is the cable not the whole row. Just make sure you do the right sides on the right and wrong sides on the wrong. YOu can make this mistake because when you are in the middle of the rowq, you don't know where to start as the yarn is just a float. Just count your floats and you'll be fine. You may need to do a little pulling to straighten out loose spots but it'll work fine.

Well, I stopped into Threadbear, my LYS, and they mentioned using dp's, but I have the Boye needle set, and that was really all I needed. When I frogged down to the error, I had to look at the "floats" to see how they "work", and I put the stitches on a cable needle and knit every row (instead of knit/purl-because if you think about it, the back of a purl is a knit). It looks fine, and no one could tell where the error had been when I was finished. I've since added the repeats to the graph, and have started on the continuation of the pattern. I'm 7 rows into that. I have about 9" knitted, and figure I need about 6 more to make 15" to my underarm.
Can we get a post about how far everyone is?
