When ladders go bad....

Yesterday morning this is what the second Clapotis looked like. I was really unsettled about the orange stripe. The only reason I used the orange was due to being afraid of running out of the other colors. I thought I was losing my mind because I thought I had way more blues and charcoal color yarn to finish this project when I started. For some reason over the course of a couple weeks the yarn found it's way to multiple hiding places. Yesterday morning while looking for my Sock Innovations book I found where 4 more balls of the yarn were hiding.

So last night I ripped it back past the orange. Now I am realizing its a bigger pain in the ass having to deal with the dropped stitch ladders. I am going to have to put the stitches back on the needle and use a crochet hook to bring the dropped stitches back up on the needle . Is it worth it? I am considering just frogging the rest of it.
