One little word

It's an important word, even though it's little. It has 4 letters. But if you ignore the word, you are unable to complete a project. I have 3 booties left to make for the layette. (3 because I have lost one. :( ) I would love to send this out tonight. My friend's surgery is Monday. I followed the pattern the first time and my eyes skipped over the word TURN. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, and of course, *I* did nothing wrong. *sigh* I could have saved myself so much frustration had I read closely. I wonder if I'll ever learn.
