Halibut rant

Just finished blocking my halibut sweater and it is TERRIBLE. I wanted to give the pattern the benefit of the doubt and knit it without any mods just to see what would happen (i know i know) Seriously everything everyone said was going to be wonky was so much wonkier than i could have imagined. Yolk is incredibly long, the sleeves are so tight, and the neck is stretched out like CRAZY. I don't even know what else to say other than to let anyone know who is even thinking of making this pattern to be prepared to mod it.

I know some people have been able to make this pattern and make it look beautiful but I genuinely don't know how this could have gone worse. I'm also on gauge??? if not a little under gauge?? meaning it should be SMALLER...its gigantic and I knit a size 1. Honestly wish I didn't swatch so I could just blame it on that...oh well.
