A mere five days ago, I took some beautiful Malabrigo Sock yarn and settled down with a pattern for it.
I had completed the cast on and the 9 setup rows, as well as 4 repeats of Chart 1 of 4 (I do not count the setup row chart, I don't think it needs a chart number).
Then I dropped a stitch. A stitch that was actually part of a decrease and may have taken out another stitch with it.
I did try to pick it up, but it was no good. The stitches got away from me and I had to start over.
So I did what any sane woman would do.
I reset the project start date in Ravelry, bullied through to the first of fourteen repeats of the main pattern chart and then walked away from it.
Tomorrow it will look smaller but not terrible much different from before the accident. I am glad I was only so many repeats in. Had I been farther along, some nearby bystander might have been injured.

You did good girl!! and I think the color is very eye catching. Can't wait to see it when it is knit up - all the way. :)
...and yes, any good Raveler would certainly reset the start date. That would be why that particular option is available to us.
