Tragedy Strikes!

Working on the blanket today...and I'm missing a stitch. There were 191, and now there are 190. I panicked. What do you do in this situation? 191 stitches across, and I dropped one who knows how many rows ago...what do you do?

Well, I tried to find the stitch I dropped. Figured knowing where it was would help me assess how much work it would be to destroy my beautiful blanket until that point.

The catch? I can't find it. I can't find the dropped stitch anywhere. I can't find an accidental knit-together either...though how I would 'accidentally' 'knit-together' is beyond me.

So what happened to that stitch? God, where did it go?

The pattern works without that stitch. I know that sounds silly, but it was always a matter of "do this 32 times and then knit an extra stitch at the end." that 'extra' is gone now. Probably what makes it hard to find is the 'wild oat' stitch I was talking about...some crazy combo of about 6 rows that involves slipping stitches and cabling a couple here and there. I could keep knitting without it...but where did it go? I would rather start over (god forbid) than keep knitting and have it unravel before my eyes. :-( Where is that blasted stitch??

I combed my work thus far meticulously, and no indication of an error... :-( I guess I should just...keep going? Advice, anyone that reads this? :-P
