Oops! Make sure you place your marker between the last 2 purl stitches not after them! --Joelle

Yes, place it between the 179th and 180th stitch, but keep in mind that when you come to the marker that there will still be one purl stitch after it that is the real end of the round. The reason to do this is because of the yo at the beginning of the round on row 4, its hard to do the yo properly with a marker there.
