This is what happens when you try to knit cables while watching tv:

I THOUGHT it looked wrong, but I thought I had read the chart right, so I went online to look for errata, and to see other people's finished hoods, and realized that things had gone horribly wrong about 15 rows back. *PALM TO FOREHEAD*
On both sides of the hood, of course.
So, because I didn't feel like ripping back the entire rows I did THIS, on both sides.

Unfortunately for me, the twist was part of a travelling cable, so a 5 stitch miss-twist resulted in me ripping out more like 17 stitches and 15 rows worth of cabling.
I used safety pins to hold the stitches that were ok, and used DPNS to do the surgery. It actually went faster than I'd expected!
Success! ooooohhh Pretty :) So now we're back on track, and I hope to be finished with the thing by the end of August!

An admirable move....I would have just thrown in the towel and gone slightly insane for a day or two, the ripped the sucker out. I was reading recently on Yarn Harlot's blog about fixing cables like that, but I don't know that I'd have the mental strength.
Ah, I love the Rogue sweater. . . it is gonna be so pretty when it is done. Bravo!! for the great cable re-do.
Wow - I can't believe you had the guts to tear out those cables! Man I would have cried all over my wool!
I too saw that Yarn Harlot entry on how to fix cables and it was scary - really scary...
