December 5, 2014: I did the body first, instead of the sleeves, just a personal preference. I’m working on the crocheted edging, then I will do the sleeves and sew the button on the sweater. Cutting the deadline rather tightly this time.

December 7, 2014: Changes I made were as follows - I didn’t slip st around the button hole because I just couldn’t manage it, I did the patterning on the sleeves all around the sleeve instead of just part way, and I added two extra sts when I picked up for the sleeves to make the pattern work out more pleasingly.
