Help! Translation needed!

This sweater, the Sunshine Wrap from August's Knit 'N Style Magazine, is my first project for myself in a long time. I am a little nervous because it needs to fit and I don't know anything about fitting patterns. But I loved the crossover tie and decided it might provide enough adjustment to counteract my shortcomings on that front.

I'm not making it in yellow, but in a lovely russet yarn our buddy Barbara Bretton gave me. I cast on and have navigated the first set of instructions without too much angst. However, I was reading ahead (as my teachers trained me to do in school) and came across this sentence and I am confused.

"Cont in St st, inc 1 st at each end of next and every foll 4th row twice, every RSR 4 times."

Could someone please tell me how many rows I'm supposed to increase on? I keep rereading this and I can't figure it out.

(Also any advice on the best increase method would be much appreciated. I feel like I read somewhere that it's better to increase on the second stitch of a row--but maybe that was in reference to decreasing instead.)

I'm depending on the experts here to unbefuddle me.

Brave new worlds

If Barbara is brave enough to show you her socks (which are not butt ugly) then I can publish the above photo. Ignore the model -- the purpose is to show off the little lace top I knit from the Knit N Style pattern sent to me by Elizabeth Delisi.

You may recall that back in June I put out a call for this pattern. I wanted to knit the top to be part of a belly dancing outfit. Yes, when I'm not writing or knitting, I belly dance.

This is knit with a shiny Viscose/Polyester Yarn from Italy called New Smoking. Very odd name, I thought. The photo doesn't do it justice -- the yarn is a brilliant blue with shiny blue flecks. Almost metallic. As much as I tinked this thing, there are still a few mistakes, which is why I won't be posting a close-up. But the shiny, sparkly blue yarn and intricate pattern distract from any errors. The top turned out very nice and my dance class is very impressed. The top is comfortable and doesn't ride up when I raise my hands -- another big plus.

I have 3 1/2 balls of this left over. It was a special order from my LYS. I'm debating what I could make with that amount of yarn. Not lace, I don't think. At least not right away. I found the process very nerve-wracking and frustrating.

Right now I'm knitting another pair of socks. Comfortable, easy and portable.
