Sesame woes...

EDIT: I screwed up the gauge irreparably. I'm an idiot. So now I'm going to frog the whole thing and try again. But at least now I've got some idea of where I went wrong, and what I need to do. I'm really not that upset about this -- there were a couple things about the pattern that I wasn't as fond of, and now I'll just make up my own pattern that's loosely based on Sesame.
