These are the links that helped me with constructing my size

This person had the cast on/increases for a size 38

And this one had the sleeves

15-9-2012 I like the yarn but it’s bulky and I don’t need any more bulk around my middle than necessary. I found this: http://www.interweave.com/Waist-Shaping-Calculator/
from bardeleen’s shalom: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/bardeleen/shalom-cardigan

and I will add waist shaping!

Gauge 13 sts equals 4 inches … need to check
