... spot the mistake.  I didn't notice that I had not dropped back a stitch for the diagonal, and so I will have to adjust the pattern when I go down the next one.

I've had a little think about why this happened (other than not paying attention) and how to try and make sure I don't do this again.  One of the blues is very pale, and I think that my eye simply does not pick up the stitch, and so I don't drop back.  To try and stop this, I will do the whole of the right-hand stitches for the complete diagonal - making sure I check each one is dropped back to the correct position, and then go back and do each row as usual.

On an up-swing, I have managed to work out how to get the highlight colour to change for a section without having to edit the 'properties' each time.
