@#$%^&*!

I am on the verge of completing my very first knitting project, a knitted bag. It consists of two sides in stockinette, and a gusset that goes down one side, across the bottom, and up the other side. I accidentally made each stockinette side one inch too long, so one might suppose that if I added two inches to the length of the gusset, it would make it all the way around, right? Wrong! Apparently, 1 + 1 does NOT equal 2, it equals something far less than what is needed to complete a stupid knit bag that I'll probably never use ANYWAY because it has a whole row of twisted stitches on one side. Not that I'm bitter or anything. See pics for the proof.
