Oh knitting gurus, where are yooooo

Ok, despite all the help Pauline gave me today, I'm still doing something wrong.  I'm going to blithely knit on with the second sock to see if I can work out what I've done wrong on the first one (we couldn't figure it out at knitting group, and the woman I got the yarn/pattern from said 'oh yeah, it's full of mistakes')

Pick up for instep
Pick up and knit 17 stitches down side of heel flap, K34 sts from cuff, pick up and knit 17 sts up side of heel flap, k10 - 88 sts, ending at marker.

I followed that and seemed to be going ok, as in at the end I had 10 stitches to knit - hurrah!  Except it adds up to 78 st on the needles, not 88.  The woman said there might be mistakes in the pattern but I'm not sure how to now progress with the shaping of the instep.  Gaarrgghhh.

Anyone got any suggestions?
