I'm working on a wild grass wrap (actually decided to turn this into a back panel for a cardigan for my daughter), and I totally blanked on the pattern change. So now I have an extra long row. I'm deciding what would be best that would allow me to keep going without frogging. They're are so many twists I think I'd end up dropping stitches. I am considering the following options :

Take these long ones and stretch them all the way up and treat the alternating rows as ribbing.
Just go back to alternating and act like it never happened. This is my husband's suggestion.
From this point forward, extend the repeat so the rest of the panel is alternating with the taller size. 20 vs 10.

And of course, the dreaded number 4. Rip it out and start over from the beginning.

Any ideas on what would look the best? It is for my 6 year old kid so I also want to be realistic about how important perfection is.

Hi there, I am an interior designer working in high-end private homes. I frequently have meetings and walk-throughs at a client's home, and am often asked to remove my shoes. Out of respect for the client's preferences, I remove them, but it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. I find it difficult to maintain a feeling of professionalism when padding around someone's house in my socks - even though I have a set of cute socks for this exact purpose.

What are some other ways to deal with this? I suppose I can have a few pairs of shoes that I keep for "inside only," but how to communicate that to a client? Show up, take my shoes off if requested, and tell them I'll be changing into my inside-only shoes?

Any ideas are appreciated!

ETA Thanks to everyone who responded! To be clear, I do take off my shoes, I just wanted some other options to consider that didn't feel so awkward *for me* that would allow me to respect the client's wishes. I think I now have some new ideas.
