The Picot Problem

So, I found a lovely bookmark pattern by Kelly Luljak to make for my daughter's teacher. You can find the pattern here. I was working along on this pattern very happily, until I discovered that I connected a round to the wrong picot.
Do you see it here in the picture. My needle is pointing to it.

Here is a closer look at the mistake.

 I must have gotten distracted or too much into a tatting groove to not realize the mistake until I was several rounds away from it. So what is a tatter to do? Well, my options were:

A) Retro-tat back to mistake, fix it and then get back to work

B) Cut this pattern off the ball and start over again, this time paying close attention to my picot joins

C)Make the same mistake on the other side of the bookmark so it looks like a design element

D) Do nothing and pretend like you never saw it. Besides, her teach is not a tatter, so she'll never know.


Well, I choose answer E instead:

I pulled the thread to make a faux picot on top, which gives the allusion that I made an extra picot at the bottom. I don't know why, but for some reason I am able to live with an extra picot at the bottom. It doesn't seem as glaring of a mistake this way.

Oh, the dirty little things we tatters do. I know there are some Type-A tatters out their just cringing at the tought of what I've done. But I am not a perfectionist and will never pretend to be. Especially when I've learned that a little starch and wiggling can smooth out so many mistakes.
