I love this sweater. The yarn is a dream, and despite the seaming of button bands, I still had fun making it! I found navy buttons that match perfectly, so I’m a happy Laura.

I didn’t make any pattern modifications this time, since there wasn’t any waist shaping, so I didn’t have to worry about it being in the wrong place for me. If I knit this again, I’d make it a bit longer in the body. If you want to do that, go for it, because if you have gauge, you use less yarn than what the pattern says. I have about half a skein of Madelinetosh DK left over.
