Stupid...stupid....pattern....

My aran pocketbook was coming along so well....I sat for a couple of hours yesterday and listened to this great audio book and finished most of the body of the purse. I was quite pleased with myself and was feeling like I had done a good job ( this was the first chart I've read and it had cables). Then I came to the 'built in i-cord edging'. I must be a moron - I just can not figure out how to make this flap work. It keeps coming out asymmetrical - I have frogged the stupid thing about 5 times now and wasted several hours on line trying to find out what I'm doing wrong.

My sister is the only knitter I know and the purse is for her for Mother's day (maybe) and the free help at the knitting shop was yesterday. That's what I get for getting so smug about learning how to do cables. Knitting Karma.

I'm going to go cast on something else and maybe the knitting answer fairy will come visit me in my dreams tonight - more likely I'll have to take the stupid thing to someone who actually has a clue how to knit.
