FO: Garter Yoke cardigan II

After I finished my own Garter Yoke Cardi my friend Adriana asked me to make her one. After a bit of nagging and guilting from her I decided to make her one as a belated birthday/going away present.

I used Cascade 220 on US 6 Addi circulars. I made no mods except to decrease 2 stitches twice on the sleeves before the elbow. I think I did it every 6 rows. More detail here I think the arms might be a little too tight. Even though I made the size 38 it fits slightly tighter than the 34 I made for myself. Oh gauge swatch, when will I learn that I do need you and that you are not some weird detour keeping from starting a project? My own sweater grew a lot with wear and even though this is a different yarn this one probably will too right? That's not wishful thinking., that's just logic. Right??

Knitting this sweater I also realized that although I like the idea of topdown seamless construction, on account of the whole no sewing thing, working sleeves while you have a whole cardigan hanging off the needles is kind of a pain. Next time maybe I can work the sleeves separately and graft them on. Any ideas from anybody about this? I guess maybe I could work the sleeves before working on the rest of the body too. Hmm....
