Progress at last!

I didn't have a lot of time to knit this weekend but I at least was able to catch up and pass where I was when I frogged. I had to knit, tink, knit, tink and knit the first row after the slip stitch trim. I thought I was screwing up the stitch count somehow. Turns out there's an error in the pattern. Duh.

I'm also not quite sure why it had me place markers in that row when I'm knitting straight until it measures 9.5 inches. *shrug*
