Yarn is absolutely perfect for this pattern - amazing stitch definition

Def played some serious yarn chicken - sleeves are not as long as intended. Used every last bit (thank goodness for spit splicing!)

to avoid:
recommend omitting optional short rows

do the sleeves before doing sewn bind off of the body (b/c it uses a lot of yarn)

whip stitch the collar before doing sleeves (again, b/c you will need yarn for that)

weigh yarn equally after body is completed for sleeves - sleeve lace panels/cuffs were approx 20g for me

repurpose gauge swatch yarn/reserve yarn for finishing

suggest using an additional skein to have the sleeves overly long as intended, add in the short rows and be able to lengthen the slightly cropped body - but successfully knit to (almost) pattern w the 4 skeins
