Branching Out Sucks!

Okay, I'm sure the problem is with me and not the pattern but right now I think the Branching Out scarf on knitty.com sucks! I can't get row 5 to come out with the right number of stitches! I've tried almost ten times (I'm not kidding). The worst part is that I have a ' hour train ride tomorrow and nothing to knit. :(

Other then that, Paris is great! I haven't seen another yarn shop but I'm keeping my eyes open.
