I’ve finished the front, fan piece, back and one sleeve. Working on the 2cnd sleeve and also working on the collar at the same time.
I’ve added 4” to the length of the body and 3” to the length of the sleeve because I don’t like a short top or a sleeve that doesn’t reach the wrist. Just my personal preference.
Will still need to hunt for the perfect buttons. I have 4 that I really love but don’t think I can find any more of them but I’m going to try.

1/3--Finished the collar. The first time I’ve ever done a tubular cast off. A challenge at first but I got it.

Also went button shopping today and got what I thought were great buttons. NOT. will take these back and pick out some others. The gold thread running thru the yarn is throwing me off. Looks good but wish it wasn’t there.

Knitting is finished and have to block and sew together. Found buttons I like!
If I didn’t have to work for a living I’d be finished soon but won’t have the time right now.
