yarn is not as fluorescent as it looks in the picture - nice bright pink, however

Cast on 14, not 18 for garter ribbing to save a little yarn.
- after a couple of inches, started front increases every 2 rows the same as the other increases.
-at sleeve split 45 for fronts plus garter band plus 106 for back and cast on 10 each side.

• at 4 inches from underarm had 58 for each front plus garter; started bust darts. Turned at stitch 38 from the garter band, then every 2nd stitch (40, 42, etc.) for 8 turns total (16 extra rows).
• after bust darts, start waist shaping. I need to go in fast, then start increasing again, so I put 2 markers at 1/3 of the back and decreased 2 at each marker with 2 stitches in between, plus 2 at each side, with 2 stitches in between (8 stitches decreased) every 4th row 4 times, then started increasing.
• I was worried I was going to run out of yarn, so I skipped adding pockets. As it turned out - plenty of yarn left.

Sleeves- start with 68. Pick up 12 including 2 gap stitches. After first round, 78. Decrease every 6th round to 48. 13 rounds then smaller needles and garter, starting with purl.
The sleeves are still pretty wide at 48 stitches.
