Have started another one, this time I will just SOAK it when it is finished rather than putting it in the machine like I did with the last one.

Instead of sewing on buttons after the sweater was finished, I added beads while knitting, using socialknitgirl’s McGyver method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOGvvK8A43U&feature=re...

I grafted the under arm stitches using woolly wormhead’s kitchener stitch analysis: http://www.woollywormhead.com/knit-and-crochet-3/

I am very happy with the result!
