Help

Aacckk I am trying to knit my tank top pattern I got from Elann.com. I am using the yarn the pattern calls for. I may be not gettting it, but I just can not get the pattern. I knit how I think it should be but am not sure. The picture they show is not very clear. I searched on the web and only found one other picture of one someone else had knit. Mine looked like hers on the top. Maybe I am doing it right. I don't know. I have ripped four times and blocked a swatch once. I give up for tonight. Maybe I will try again tomorrow. Blah!!!!
