after the first 18 rows, the pattern says to increase 1 st at each end of 11th

and every following 8th row until a certain amount of sts remains....

would that be row 29, 37, 45 etc?

this is the way i've done it but now i've run into problems in terms of the

remaining stitches....

(the pattern is: k row, k row, k row, p2 tog, m1 until last st, p1

suddenly 90 or so rows in i've ended up with an even amount of sts at the

p2tog row so that there is no remaining st. to purl....

i've double checked my counting & i don't seem to have made a mistake)

help!
