Increase 26 sts evenly

I’ve finished the body of the cow/pig sweater; and have moved on to using that needle for the new project I am starting (and hope to finish before the end of this month). After knitting the ribbing, the pattern says to increase 26 stitches evenly. Given my lack of kintting time, I thought it would be better to mark all the increase locations at once, and then just be able to knit across. This is what you get when you do that:
It’s working except I didn’t have 26 sittch markers in the little saftey pin style. So I marked what I could, then knit across enough to move those sttich markers to the other side; replacing those with non-saftey pin stitch markers. Now I can count all the stitch markers (26) and know I should have enough increases. I’ll count the number of total stitches after I finish the increase round just to make sure I’ve got the right amount.
