WWGD?
So I'm about nine and a half inches into the front of my Shapely Tank. I'm at the point where I'm increasing for the bust (ha ha) and I just noticed a small hole (two, actually) on one side where I clearly knit into the wrong side of a m1.
WWGD? She'd frog it. I know I should frog it, but I am SO FREAKING bored knitting all of this stockinette on long aluminum needles. The purl sides are just killing me. I think it would be better if I switched to circulars, but my only circular US6 needles are 4.25mm and not 4.0. I'm fairly convinced that I'll be able to hide the holes when (if) it comes time to seaming.
Sigh. This is the farthest I've ever gotten on anything remotely resembling a sweater.
To distract you, gentle reader, here is a picture of me modeling my finished Backyard Leaves. I look a little surly, but it's mostly because I have Crest Whitestrips on my teeth.

If it's going to bother YOU, you should frog it. If not, pfffft. ; )
Nice scarf!

Oh man, I have my own abbreviation now, like Hey-sus! Typically, yes, I would frog it, although after I'm sort of fed up with a project, I don't care anymore... or I've learned not to care... or I've been forced by my inevitable arthritis not to care.
You're looking lovingly surly in that scarf! I just put mine away because, uhm, it's nearly summer. Wasn't it a cool project? Isn't Annie Modesitt a goddess? Aren't the little pointy leaves at the ends SO clever?
Oh, and Crest Whitestrips don't work on porcelain veneers. Just for general blog info. How do I know? Because I looked freaky with my white teeth except the ones which have the veneers!!! Never again!

Thanks, girlers! It is a great scarf. And I got lots of great help with it. :)

You could undo that stitch down to the M1, and then pull the loop through the other side to fix it. If it's between frogging or trying that before you frog, then I'm all for trying something new.

Cute, but question do those whitestrips really work?

Frog it, toad it, or leave it alone
. . . you are just too disgustingly photogenic for words. You look great in EVERY photo you take! Harrumph.

The whitestrips actually work pretty well. Once you're done with the box, you have to start a new one pretty soon, though. At least if you drink as much coffee/tea/red wine as I do...
Toad it! Ha ha ha!
