What am I doing wrong?

Ack! Knitting woes...

Perfect yarn, adorable pattern... recipe for adorable and perfectly luscious baby blanket, right?

Well, it will be once I work out the kinks.

Here's the pattern...

Soft, sunny, and comfy -- this blanket is bound to be a hit with your baby.

And here's the someday-to-be-adorable-but-currently-insanely-aggravating-blanket-in-progress....

Suffice it to say, I'm annoyed enough with the project right now to make a special trip to the nearest (which is *not* nearby) knitting store en la manana.

Am I working from the wrong side? Why do I keep noticing dropped stitches five rows after I've dropped them? How did I not notice them in the first place when I'm counting every darned (hahaha!) stitch?

I'm befuddled.
