Abstract Thursday: "Hitches in the Stitches"

Ingeborg would like abstracts which have a hitch in the pattern for today's AT challenge, so I thought I'd blip the "hitches in the stitches" in this old jumper - it's done stalwart service over many years but is sadly now becoming somewhat threadbare. (The colours have been altered to make it more dramatic - and it's only since I did the colour tweaks that we started to see smiley faces in the pattern!)
