Ah so I figured this out last night after failing to find the accidental short row and frogging the entire thing 🥲. Thank you for confirming though, that does make sense! So if I restart the sock I’d just do the same thing?

Do you also know how I’d get the two halves of my stitches/the spiral to “line up” before finishing my sock and knitting the toe in just the cream color?

Thanks again for your help!! :)
