Can y'all help me identify this mistake?
I didn't notice this til way, way past the row it's on, so I'm definitely not going to rip it out and go back and I'm totally ok with it staying, but I would like to know what I did so I can hopefully avoid it in the future. I'm using 50/50 wool/acrylic bulky yarn on size 13 needles, if it helps.

It looks like you might have accidentally grabbed a loop one row down. Did a loop fall off your needle and you had to put it back on? Sometimes when that happens it can get one row unraveled and it's hard to notice.
That sounds very likely. I know I've had a loop fall off at least once during the project, and yeah, I couldn't figure out how I apparently skipped one row and knit into the next one. Thanks for your help!
If you're feeling mildly adventurous, you can drop down the single column of stitches and fix that without ripping back everything. Then use a crochet hook to bring it all back together. This seems like a good example of how to do it.
It’s terrifying and a lot of fun. Chuck a stitch marker through the stitches on either side of the column, watch a few videos, and have at it. I like this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Da79sRCWgw4
