ah, that explains it, I'd forgotten that. It does look a little odd, but ripping out all that work... well, I know you're a much faster knitter than I am, so maybe it doesn't seem as drastic to you. That decision has to be a play-off between how much you dislike ripping and re-doing and how much (if at all) either you or J would prefer the alternative version. I can't judge either of these things.
