Nothin'.
Arwen's body is one pattern repeat from completion, and I am not frogging back three inches. Hopefully nobody will be staring so hard at my sister's upper pelvic region that they notice this little cabling error.
Meanwhile, I have discovered an awesome blog: TECHknitting, which has great clear illustrations of a lot of different techniques. Go check it out!

I had to squint to see the error! I'm sure no one will se it when it's in use.

I have a similar cabling error on the back of my Tangerine Twist. Who's ever going to know? It's almost entirely invisible.
That blog rocks, thanks for pointing it out!
I had a problem like this on an aran sweater. A woman taught me how to cut the yarn above the mistake, unravel past the mistake, reknit it and then use the kitchner stitch to add yarn and graft the pieces. When it came time to cut the yarn I was soooo scared, but it worked and looks invisible!!
Thanks, Karen -- I thought about doing that, but in fact the problem is worse than that -- it's not an issue of cabling in the wrong direction; in fact I think that I repeated a row (or two) of the pattern -- that's what caused two "normal" looking cables instead of a basketweave pattern. In fact the error is noticeable to the naked eye, but we'll just say it gives the sweater character...
Handknit, not machine knit.
Prancing pony and all that. No one but another obsessed knitter will ever notice.
