Backwards

So I took Bayerische to meetup last night and came home with 4 less rows of knitting then I started with... that's not the kind of progress I was looking for. I started knitting row 5 and realized that it was just wrong I switched charts B&D and then switched back and then swapped again for maximum sock wrongness : )
So I think the lesson I've learned from this is I can't knit Bayerische at meetup anymore. I need to come up with an easy project or at least easier than Bayerische and more portable than the rug with 3 lb cones of yarn to bring along...
