I finished up Clue 3 on April 5. I will confess that I did not work a gauge swatch. I started out on the same needles that I had knit clues 1 and 2 on, but quickly realized that it would be too loose. So I put in one of my afterthought lifelines and ripped back and started over with a needle two sizes smaller. It worked perfectly. It was a pretty straightforward knit, except for a couple of rows - the ones with the increases and decreases. I put in markers at the end of each repeat as I worked the row across so I always knew where I was and it worked great. I did screw up and did not work enough rows so I did the decrease row and came up short, but I just tinked back and did the extra rows and then everything was good. I switched to a US 7 when I started the transition rows and ended the transition rows with a US 8.
