I didn’t add buttons yet and am not sure I will. I like the look of them, but I’m afraid it will make this sweater too tight on me. Plus, I like how it looks without buttons too.

I was worried about seaming (and put it off for months), but I finally decided to crochet the seams, and it was much easier than I imagined. I was a crocheter first before I became a knitter, so maybe that had something to do with it. Anyway, I will not shy away from seamed sweaters now that I’ve tried crocheting the seams. It gives it a nice, clean finish too.

A note: This yarn pills quite a bit. I haven’t had the problem with other Quince and Co. yarns, so I’m not sure if it’s this yarn weight or colorway or what. It’s nothing I can’t fix with a good brushing, but I don’t like having to de-pill my sweater every single time I wear it.
