shaping back of shell
I'm working on the "Classic Silk Shell" as is seen at http://www.classiceliteyarns.com/pat...p?patternID=18. I've nearly completed the back - and have run into a brick wall. I am at "shape shoulders and neck": BO 5 sts of beg of next 6 rows and at the same time, on first row of shoulder shaping, work to center 29 sts, join second ball of yarn, BO center sts; work to end. Working both sides at the same time, BO 4 sts at each neck edge once. I have given instructions for my size. I have 67 stitches on my needles. Do I bind off the 5 - knit over 29 sts. I tie on the second ball - then what? how many stitches do I bind off? Do I start to use the yarn from the second ball instead of the yarn on the ball I've been using???? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BO 5 sts, work to the center sts. Drop your yarn and pick up new yarn end, BO 29, work to end of row. Turn, BO 5 sts, work to center, drop yarn, pick up other yarn, BO 4 sts, work to end of row. Repeat on the next row. Then BO 5sts on the beginnig of the row only for the next 4 rows.
