I am working on a pattern from the newest Cast On Mag called Faux Fair Isle Vest and it tells me to work to 10in from beg of shaping ending with a ws row. Then it says "PMS" for back neck to ea side of center 56 st. BO all sts. I don't understand the "PMS" Can someone please help me.

PM usually stands for Place Marker and from the description, it sounds as if you are being instructed to mark-off the center 56 stitches.

You might look at the back of the magazine for a list of abbreviations if you don't find it in the pattern itself.

Thank you. Now it makes sense. I need to place markers to mark off the neck stitches and bind off all the stitches. This makes it easier to find them when I join the fronts to the back and pick up the stitches for the edging.

Seems easier now that it is explained better.

Again thank you so very much for your reply.
