Quick knit, right?
Well its even quicker at 8 sts/4in.
Good for speed.

Bad for fit!

Way to wide!
Drats!

Lesson learned. Don't rush. And start with sleeves from now on and double check gauge as you knit. I never seem to swatch and knit at the same gauge.

Any swatchy advice out there?

I'll being moving on calmer things now. Hint, hint!

Oh No!

At least it was a quick knit, if that makes you feel any better about ripping it out and starting again.
