Time for the Back!

I finished the right front yesterday on my Hanne Falkenberg Duet vest and it took about 15 minutes to figure out how to get the back started. 

You lay out the pieces with the right sides facing up and the Right front on the right side and the Left front on the left side (the cast on edges do not meet, they need to be opposite each other). Don't worry about what it looks like or how it fits (because it doesn't look at all like you think, and it doesn't fit!) You then cast on the number of stitches it says using long tail method, then knit across the right side back stitches (stitches you first put on a holder). When you hit the edge stitches, you do what it says (k2tog put 3 on a holder) then move to the left side and put 3 on holder k2togbl, knit to the end, then cast on the rest of the stitches. You will be decreasing in the center of these stitches. She has you put a marker. I hope my picture helps.  I still can't stop knitting!!!
