For the love of all that is good and HOLE-y!

I have been working on dwindling the unfinished objects I have seemed to accumulate over the past year. Included in that is my hubby's sweater. I have slacked on it, I'll admit. So when I got home from knitting group last Wednesday, I decided to get it out and start working on it.

Here is what I was greeted with. I can only imagine it's yarn karma giving me the finger:

See the dark speck on the left stripe?

Here it is closer

Even closer...

Sonovabeesting. How does this type of thing happen? I'm so torked! Any advice on how to fix this is requested. I really don't want to frog to the spot as this baby is knit on size 2 needles, but if that's the only way to fix it, I'll do it. Please help Obi Wan, you're my only hope...
