Pattern calls for size 6 needles--I dropped to Addi 2s (which are 2.5s in other needles) to get gauge (and more importantly a nice fabric).

Lost at yarn chicken--had to start 3rd skein with about 10 sleeve rows to go.

Fun knit!

Machine washed & dried, then steam pressed, then added grosgrain to button band. Might redo button placement--it’s pretty good, but maybe is off 1-2mm. Not tonight, though.

Might suggest shifting all button holes down by 2? rows. Topmost one is pretty high.
