ATTENTION KNITTING FRIENDS
EZ february baby sweater: HALP

man, i think i really messed this one up. if you are familiar with this pattern, could you please comment and let me know what i SHOULD have done? i don't think i got it right.

EZ's "pithy" instructions really got me when it came to the sleeves and i seriously spent days and days trying to figure out what the hell she meant. i also did not want to seam the sleeves as directed, so i did what i THOUGHT would be ok for working the sleeves in the round, using whatever weirdo logic i could muster up:

when it came time for the sleeve divide, i put 28 stitches on waste yarn for each sleeve opening. when i got to the next row, i COd 14 stitches at each sleeve opening, with the intention of picking up the bottom 14 stitches and then working the sleeve in the round after i was done with the body.

i am halfway through the first sleeve and it looks HUGE. even huger than the rest of the sweater looks. did i royally screw this up?

EDIT: NEVER MIND!!! a friend of mine reminded me to check gauge, and it turns out i am getting 4 stitches to the inch using dpns as opposed to the 5 per inch i got for the body. WHOOPS.
