Notes

Using M1L and M1R instead of KFB.

Starting waist decreases on 136th round from neck ribbing.

Finished waist decreases on round 151 from the neck ribbing.

I have decided that I do not like the look of the side increases both at the bust and the hips on this pattern. So when I make another, I am going to do the increases more evenly spaced across the front & back, as well as the decreases. So will divide front & back by 4 and work the decreases & increases 1/4 of the distance from each side.

SLEEVES
I wanted the sleeves a bit longer. So I knit 30 rounds and I decided to do helical knitting on the sleeves as well as the body. Then I did the decrease round on the 30th round and worked 5 rounds of ribbing before binding off by added 1 extra stitch after ever 2 stitches. The body had the same bind off used on it.
