Yes, indeed I had missed a YO. I think I must have just purled into
the stitch instead of P1, YO, P1 into the same stitch, so lost 2
stitches.
Sunday, I set up a new sample, and have the pattern worked out...so
simple when you know how :)

Yes, I sure do :) Now I just have to figure out how to do the
decreasing. I've never used a chart before, so this is all new to
me. Fun, fun, fun...

Linda , if you want to decrease 1 st , you can either knit [or purl] 2
stiches together .
Or slip 1 k [or p] next st, slip the former unknit st over the knit
one.
if you want to decrease 2 st ,,, slip one , k or p 2 together , slip
unkint over the 2 together .
