petiteknit novice slipover right shoulder

I am working on picking up stitches for the right shoulder of the novice slipover by petiteknit. The patterns says with right side facing, pick up stitches from right to left. This is the same way I picked up stitches for the left shoulder.

It then says knit the stitches I just picked up. The problem is, if I pick up from right to left, I am positioned to purl, not knit. If I purl instead of knitting like the pattern says, I'll be inverted on rows for the rest of the pattern.

Am I misreading something? Can someone help explain? Thank you!
