I love it. I made the sleeves on the knitting machine in stockinette. Had to re calculate for different gauge. The yarn is breath taking. I feel it shows off better in stockinette. It is a thin DK so you can also knit as sport weight.

The button band was knitted on the machine in 1x1 half pitch ribbing. It really gives the sweater structure and formality.

My only regret is that I wish I had made full sleeves instead of 3/4.

Other than that, I love it and after a year of carrying it around, I’m so glad it is done. pray
