9. did i make gauge? Nope, I was off. That’s why I just knit until it fit.
10. how long did it take to knit? Tuesday night to Saturday night
11. any deviations from the pattern? Same as mine. (i seamed the sleeves together a little different than specified in the pattern, i think it makes it look more 'sleeve' like instead of like cuffs. oh, and i did the sleeve cuffs in the round, and i did them in a matching 2x2 rib. i wasn't into the sleeves being seed stitch and the body having a 2x2 rib. )
