The “Samantha” trouble

Okay, here’s the specific instructions that I’m having trouble with. All directions (c) Kate Gilbert and all that.

Back neck shaping
Row 49: K 25, k center 19 sts onto circular needle, then using straight needle, k to end.
Turn and work 1 row even up to neckline.
Row 51: Using circular needle, sl1, k3, using straight needle, k across.
Turn and work 1 row even up to neckline.
Row 53: Using circular needle, sl1, k2, using straight needle, k across.
Row 54: (WS): Purl across.

Place the rem sts on a dpn. Rejoin yarn and rep neck shaping for other side, reversing shaping. You will use the sts on the circular needle when you make the collar. You will use the sts on the dpn to BO the shoulders together. If you need the circular needle to work the neck on the fronts, transfer these sts to a holder or a piece of scrap yarn.

Any clues?

    Hello there, I was having a bit of trouble with my Samantha in progress. Did a google and came up with your blog. One issue I already had with Samantha, I e-mailed Kate Gilbert and she responded very promptly. Currently I’m having a bit of trouble where I do the collar. It’s neat to see someone else out there doing it.

    That’s a really good idea … I’m not sure why I didn’t just think of that! I was hoping that someone near me would be able to show me what to do, I think … I got through that bit by just patiently trying to work through the pattern, but I’ll definitely just email her if I run into any other pattern confusion. :)
