Cleo toe stitch-count off @ r. 4 of lace/cable. Help!

I’m still pretty much at the beginning of my Cleos; have both toes done, and am beginning the cable-lace pattern on one of them. knitting the medium size.

I know it was early when I was working on it on the train this morning — but I am to “medium only” “row 4″, and the counts are off. As I count, the row 4 instruction works out to 36 stitches instead of 34, because it adds a purl stitch on each end right after/before k1tbl; but it still wants me to k22 (I think) in the center section. *is* there an error in the “medium only” section? I’m talking about the section right after “instructions,” then “all sizes” but right before starting the chart and side-stitch pattern. I’m sorry I don’t have the page# in front of me.

If not, can anyone who has knit size ‘medium’ hazard a guess as to where I might have gone wrong? I super-promise that I have not blown by, or dropped, any yo’s. That’s always the first thing I check. I’ve stared at it and stared at it, counted and counted.

I don’t want to kludge here, because I can just *smell* that I will end up messing with the arithmetic for the rest of the project if I do.

Thank you all ~

Error in gusset of Cleo?

I have been working the Cleopatra socks, and in my pattern, the stitch count is off in the first few rows of the gussets. In rounds 4 and 6, I had to play with the k1tbl, or the k2togtbl components so that the stitch count increased as it should.

Did everyone else do this and not talk about it, or did I get an uncorrected pattern?

Anyway, I love the pattern, and have also modified the left and right twists ala Barbara Walker, which made things a lot easier for me. I also started with a figure 8 cast on instead of the provisional one. I guess I just can’t stop fiddling with things (G).
