Love this sweater. It was going great until I hit the sleeves. I hate sewing things, so I knit it in one piece and then knit the sleeves attached to the sweater, from the top down. All that stockinette was boring, so I put it down and avoided it for well over a year. But then I found the buttons and was inspired to finish it - in just a few days. I love the finished item - it’s beautiful!!!!
