Pre-washed the yarn with some Dawn detergent and hot water.
SWAG on time to complete: 50 hours.

Oct 16 - 45 mins. Set up rows complete.
Oct 17 - 1h50m. Gauge is about correct; around 4.5” for 2 repeats (but very stretchy), and 1” in height for one repeat. The fact that the pattern gives UNBLOCKED gauge (?!?!) makes me think my unblocked gauge should be A-Ok. Total 2h35m.

Nov 9 - 1h10m. Blocked what I had. Gauge measures exactly as the pattern calls for, with room to block “slightly” larger if needed. Also, turns out I did the larger provisional cast on wrong, so I need to cut the chain every few stitches. Noooooooo…. Sigh. Total 21h5m.
