SOS Terracotta!!!

Dear Knitters -
PLEASE HELP. I am probably missing something totally basic here, but I am totally stuck on the last couple rows of my Terracota Ripples Skirt. I'm hoping one of you out there who has knit this can provide some insight.

The ruffle part reads:

Rnds 3 and 4: Knit
Rnd 5: *[k2tog] 6 times, [yo, k1] 6 times; rep from * to end
Rnd 6: Knit
Rnds 7-10: Rep Rnds 3-6

So I am on row 9. It looks like this:



If I [k2tog] 6 times, then my [yo, k1] is going to start in the MIDDLE of the previous [yo, k1] row. Is this correct? Because it looks really off to me. Or is it supposed to be a feather-and-fan, in which case I should [k2tog] 3 times, THEN start [yo, k1]?

Did I miss something really basic here? Please help. Or send a gallon of wine since I'm about to pull my hair out.

Love,
D-Knitter*

Have you checked ravelry? I do know there were corrections to that pattern here: http://www.interweaveknits.com/corrections/spring07.asp but that's not the section you were talking about.

I don't know the answer, but I love your new nickname, and your Terracotta Ripples. Good luck!

When I knitted it, it didn't match up to make a perfect feather and fan, but I kept on going on it. The edges still look cute and flippy when you walk, and I never paid any attention to it after I just gave up and kept going.

there may be corrections, but I don't think they'll make a huge difference unless you're a perfectionist.
