Thanks everyone for all of your feedback and advice! I cast on the Paulie cardigan with the 3.50 mm needles and it’s looking pretty good so far:
My increases are a little wonky but with blocking hopefully they’ll look a little neater. I’m just so pumped to have finally started that I had to share, even though there’s not much to look at yet, haha. You can see, though, that I’ve printed off my pattern and am carefully circling the stitch numbers for the medium size, and I’m checking off rows as I go. The sweater looked a little big to me, but when I held it up around my shoulders and positioned it correctly, it looked right. I can’t wait to get far enough where I’ll know for sure if I have to rip it out and start over or not…
That’s all I’ve got for today, I just had to share! Thanks for stopping by!
not your average crochet 
You are off and running! Yeah! I hope that all of your planning pays off and that you will not have to rip anything out. Smooth knitting, from here on out.

Hurray! And good luck! And just in case, it’s better for a jumper to be a little too big than too small 🙂
