I'm really looking forward to making this. But I was just reading through the pattern... how does one work "sewn buttonholes" in knit fabric?

Thank you for the lovely design.
Wishing you all good things.

This sweater looks so cozy. Do you have any more close-up photos?

That looks so lovely! Could you give us a few more of the knitting specs? Gauge, yarn amount, etc.? I also second a request for a close-up!
Thanks for producing the pattern!

Ditto to the close-up! Also, great socks from previous post. Did you do them with the Turkish Toe and on 2 circs? Are you going to pattern it? That's exactly the kind of sock I want to make!

I love the pattern, and have a few questions. Does it have any waist shaping? Also, what is the length of the finished sweater? Thank you!

Oooh, think this might be my over Christmas knitting treat to myself. I love the simplicity, thanks Anna!

Great pattern Anna! I'm glad you're selling it -- I know how much time and energy goes into creating and writing a pattern. I just purchased mine and have added this sweater to my to-do list.

This sweater has been haunting me ever since I saw you offering the pattern. I don't need more pattern....but...I think I have just the right yarn, and even the buttons.
And suddenly I desperately need a sweater...so yah, I think I'll purchase it now and cast on ASAP. Thanks for sharing, Anna.

I'm doing a happy dance Anna!

I love this sweater but how does the Cashsoft hold up after washing? I'm always concerned about pilling and the like with the softest yarns...
