all in all, a very enjoyable knit! i had some questions along the way and asked laura about them and she was awesome to respond to each of my inquiries.

i only did a few mods mainly based on my row gauge. i was getting less rows per 4” than called for, so i knit less in some spots. i basically knit to the measurements based on my swatch which is what, duh!, you should do.

my only big mod was to put a buttonhole in the collar and i’m glad i did. i didn’t like the gap i had seen on some of the finished projects and it was one of the few things mentioned to me by friend, illanna, when she had finished hers.

very very HAPPY!

p.s. bought the buttons at rhinebeck from jennie the potter! love them! http://www.jenniethepotter.com

will take photos soon but want to be better about putting projects into ravelry RIGHT when i start them so that i can document the start date.
