A bump in the rib

"How's the cardigan going?" you ask.

I noticed a bump in the rib. It's quite a bit back. I knitted instead of purled, or purled instead of knitted.

It was where I had placed a marker, which passes from needle to needle, row after row. I guess I was paying more attention to the marker than the stitch.

I could take that column of stitches down and use a crochet hook to bring it correctly back up. Except this is raised rib, there is an extra twist in each loop. I'm not sure that I want to risk a botched correction that will show more than the bump in the rib.

I contemplate this as I knit. The bump moves further down as the rib grows.
