I had one big "D'Oh!" frogging moment; I finished the yoke bit, and then got to the part in the pattern were it talks about button holes. Something seemed weird to me, and then I looked at that picture on the cover of Knitter's Almanac, and lo and behold, there are buttons on the yoke!! I wish I had noticed that first, but I know I'll be ready for next time! :)I sc'd around the edges and sleeves, reinforced the button holes and tried for a bigger size. More specifics and more closeup pics at my blog.
Thank you again for all your help!

Lovely little sweater! What a cheerful color, and the buttonholes look just great in this pic.
ReplyDeletethat's my one complaint about this pattern. she should really mention the buttonholes MUCH sooner!
ReplyDeleteI love it in the tangerine! I noticed the buttonhole boo-boo in that pattern, too - between that and the cryptic "4 x 7" stitches under the arm, it's one to challenge the knitterly smarts. Yours turned out absolutely darling, though - way to be the boss!
