I was distracted

Remember yesterday, I said that I was trying hard not to be distracted?

I was binding off the collar. The directions were detailed. The first and last two inches  were to be bound off at medium tension. The middle with easy tension. I used a size bigger needle for that.

 I worked my way to the end. I then stretched the edge to see it flare and flipped it over to find a dropped stitch.

This time, I ripped it out and redid it. There is a lesson in life there. I'm not quite sure what it is.
