argh - bombshell - knittng in round help!

[mulene]

ok so I'm doing bombshell from Big Girl Knits.

I was doing great - then I had to cast on more stitches using the backward loop method. OK so I couldn't find how to do that at the time so I cast on using another method that worked just fine.

Then I had to join it to start working in the round. I got confused and put the work with the working yarn coming from it to the right side of the circ then continued to follow the pattern.

The next few rows are this: Knit a row, then knit the next row but doing increases then knit the 3rd row. Why then on my knit side of the work do all the stitches look purled?!

Should I have had the working yarn coming from the left needle? Or turned upside down or what?

I can't post pics right now but will try to later. I'm all confused!

Edit:

To try to explain it a bit better - the knit side is on the outside of the ring, the purl side is on the inside. Should I just unknit the last 1 1/2 rows - the extent of the mistake (I'm scared to take it off the needles in case I take it back too far and can't pick the stitches back up) and turn it so that the purl side is on the outside?
