Braided longies - update/finished

I just finished weaving in the ends on the braided longies! I'll lanolize them over the next couple days and then post a picture of them in use :)

Knitting at night.

Knitting at night while sleep deprived is STUPID!!! I decided to stay up and knit while waiting for my husband to get off work last night. After a couple hours of good progress, I noticed I had made a mistake, 10 rounds ago!! I miscounted and had an extra round, which messes up the cable. My husband (the man who can't seem to find anything while grocery shopping) spotted it right away, then tried to convince me no one would notice and I should just leave it :/

I know the mistake is there, and it would bother me every time I saw the longies. I can't leave it. I am just a little too OCD to allow that.

That longer section just messes up the look of the braided cable.

The only question is, how do I go about this? Do I just take the needles out and frog back to the mistake, then carefully put the live stitches back onto the needle? Tink back 10 rounds? Try to make a too-late life line? Or just drop the cable stitches and try to "fix" just that area? I opted for the last one. It'll be a piece of cake, right?

That doesn't look so bad, now to "fix" my dropped stitches.

Okay so that wasn't nearly as bad as I was anticipating. It was actually fairly easy and quick. It looks alright. Now to fix the other side and then start on the gussets increases.

Maybe I've learned my lesson and won't knit when my brain doesn't function... Yeah right! Lol That would take all the challenge out of knitting ;)

Slowly making progress.

I haven't had as much time to knit as I'd hoped. Once I get the baby to bed for the night, there is still so much to do. Hopefully I can find time to finish these longies soon. He needs some more wool for night time so I can wash his shorties. Anyway, I have the majority of the body done. My gauge is a touch large, but it seemed fine and I'm not concerned if they measure a tiny bit large (we'll see if I end up regretting this decision later on, lol). Here is a picture of my progress so far.

This would be the right side (as in not the left), showing the cable braid. Note that I don't use stitch markers. I figure there is no point since I am using magic loop method and the front and back are split where the markers would go anyway. If I can avoid using extra tools, I do. I don't need extra pieces to get lost in the couch ;)
