Knitting lesson (not the good kind).

I cast on for Leo's hat on Sunday--another earflap hat by the same designer, tiennie knits--pattern is here, though I changed the design motif.  I am on the last few rounds of the Fair Isle--and I just noticed a hiccup in my stitches, causing subsequent rows to be off by one stitch. 

This photo does not highlight the error--but trust me, it's there. 

I am not ripping and correcting because even though I care very, very much--Leo doesn't.  And he wants his hat!  He is so sweet, helping me when I started by asking if he could be in charge of keeping the strands untwisted.  In truth, he mostly got everything tangled.  But it's a small price to pay to have him sit next to me for a bit, chatting away. 

I will post more pictures when it's completed.  I'm not sure I can bring myself to showcase the error.  But then again, maybe it's a good lesson for me:  Fair Isle at night, in the dim light, while watching tv--not there yet.
