Knitting Mishap

One of the projects I took on the cruise was a basic cowl pattern with some sea silk yarn.  The hand of the material was great, but when I got home and looked at the knitted portion, I noticed and my stitch count was all wrong.

The knits and the purls are suppose to form one straight line and you can see that it is totally jagged.  I ended up ripping the entire project up.

I then went looking around and saw this skein for a scarf pattern.

Ripping and starting anew.
