So, I subtracted two stitches in width from each sleeve, and four total from the body (two side seams).

I'm trying to ferret the answer out over at Ravelry, but am having trouble finding it.... Did you adjust the cast on count for knitting the sleeves in the round vs flat?

Knit polish to polish and plain to plain. BUT, make sure the nail polish is well dry before you start (I wait at least an hour to overnight before knitting with a "polished" set of circulars). FYI -

It's not difficult at all but it can be a little fiddly until you figure out how to get it going without creating ladders. Angela - See this page and this page for help.
