I am also a free range knitter. I’m helping a friend with a Cocoknits pattern (the best! They fit beautifully) and she is being very precise. I’m apparently totally cavalier—close enough is close enough!

I always figure it out in the end. Sometimes my finished product doesn’t look like the picture but, as long as I don’t wear the picture attached to the knitted item, no one’s the wiser, wink wink!
Exactly! The worst that could happen is... fine. Because the process is the point, and the end result is a nice souvenir / gift. Tho I should confess that I sometimes find myself annoyed that the sleeves are wider than they need to be. So I'm trying to be a little more disciplined about that. And similarly, I made my oldest son (now 23) a lovely version of The OA (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-oa) and those sleeves were too narrow, so I guess now I have to figure out how to steek them to add a gusset? Adventure awaits!

And I have no idea what steeking is. I did learn I-cord recently though.
PS I am Evowoman on Ravelry. I took a 2 hour class on how to use Ravelry and have been adding my projects! I like that pattern you linked!
