Miscounted, help me, please!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
The pattern is Ishbel and I messed up. On the easy bit. And I can't find my mistake...

So, the pattern says:

Quote:
Stocking stitch centre
Row 1 (WS): k3, yo, p to 3 sts from end, yo, k3. 11 sts.
Row 2: K3, yo, k2, yo, k1 (this st will be referred to as
the centre st from now on and can be marked with a
safety pin if desired), yo, k2, yo, k3. 15 sts.
Row 3: Repeat row 1. 17 sts.
Row 4: k 3, yo, k to centre st, yo, k1, yo, k to 3 sts
from end, yo, k3. 21 sts. Rep rows 3 and 4 25[33] more
times. 171[219] sts.
Repeat row 1 once more. 173[221] sts.
I have 225 stitches at the end of a purl row. WTF have I done, and how do I fix it? Do I frog back two rows and then have one row with no increases? I'd leave the yarnovers in place and add the decreases to start the lace pattern off... or does anyone have a better idea?
Oh, the one saving grace is that somehow, I have 112 on either side of the central stitch. At least it's symmetrically screwed

OK, so to update my own post

What I did was put four decreases in on the last knit row with a little bit of surgery with a crochet hook because I was too lazy to frog back.
