jess is a four letter word
Okay, this pattern is really one where you gotta pay attention. It's proven a bit too much for little, old can't-remember-if-I-did-that-row, can't-use-a-row-counter-cause-I-always-forget-to-click-it me.
I started the second set of short rows, was sailing along and about a ball of yarn into them realized that I would have to rip it all out. After the initial short rowing, the front panels slant with increases on one side and decreases on the other (like a diagonal scarf). The way I was doing the short rows for the that section of the front panel, I totally forgot to do all the increases and was taking stitches from the back. I knew what I was supposed to be doing, but I got into some rhythm and totally forgot about the increases. Whoops. It's got to go. And since I'm a proponent of ripping immediately - destroying all evidence, as it were - I'm right back to where I was in my last jess post.
Oh well, knitting across such long rows and having to support all these stitches on one needle is bothering my wrist anyway. Jess may just be going into the break room for a while.

oh, that just happened to me on more than one project! it'll be good the get that weight off your wrist though. a break will be good too. like i always say after a bit like that, NEXT. and love that, "going into the break room".
put that girl on a time out! :)
Ok, your stalker is back, this time as a copycat! Now I'm making Banff in blue, just like you. And I don't even like blue. I must be out of my mind, but I guess that's common among stalkers.
Definitely sounds like it's time for a break for naughty Jess!
Lamb, when she comes out from her time out, consider putting her on a circular needle. You work her back and forth, just as on the straights, but the weight falls on your lap, not on your wrists.
She'll be lovely, but no reason you should suffer for her sins.
