I’m off gauge, on purpose, winging it with the smaller yarn and needles.

I finished all the short-row sections in the pattern, then added some more before doing the final seed stitch and bind off. I used a stretchy bind-off - k2, move those stitches to left needle, k2tog, p1, move 2 back, p2tog, k1, move 2 back, k2tog and so on.

For the chunk I added, I’d do one on each side (somewhere) before doing the eyelet rows. I’ll get a picture before mailing it off.
