Take the negative with the positive

Looking at all my yarn I am trying to assign projects to all the yarn I can.

But I also have some old projects three of the which will require negative knitting. I discovered my Adrift cardigan has a missed increase one row back but also it has 90 stitches on one side and 94 on the other. So the question is...how much knitting back (a.k.a. Negative knitting) do I to do????    :-(

I went back two row already then put it on a time out. 

I brought it out this morning to access the situation and discovered the sides don't match.

So I ponder...

This is the bad knits time out spot....
