Buttonhole suggestions
http://www.maryscotthuff.com/news/?tag=Buttonholes

Step 1 Right Side. Work up to the place you’d like to make a buttonhole, work two stitches together. Make a DOUBLE YO, (simply wrapping the working yarn around the right needle twice). Finish the row. Remember: you can work any sort of decrease you like the look of and you can make the double YO on either side of it. What matters is that you work two stitches together, and that the YO be doubled.
Step 2 Wrong Side. Work in pattern up to the double YO and do to it whatever you would have done if it were a normal stitch. Even though there are two wraps around the needle, it’s still only one stitch, as you’ll discover as soon as you work it - the extra wrap just falls off the needle, making a larger-than-usual stitch:
Step 3 Right Side. Work in pattern right up to that big ol’ sloppy stitch (can’t miss it: it’s the ugly one that’s making your gums bleed). Then you stick your needle through the hole and make the same stitch you would have if this were a normal row of knitting.
Thank you, Mary Scott Huff.

Forgot buttonhole on left front cuz you didn’t read the instructions - no problem.

END NOTES
Hubsters Collar: crocheted a gray line on front. Hes a snazzy guy.

Buttons
eBay.

Seamed with mohair.

Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance(or so I’m told)
K’s sweater :Moss stitch pattern instead of reverse stockinette. Seams for structural support.

Finally….I’m done! I’m done! Hahahahaha,I’m done!

Addendum:
“Its too big.” …..What!
“You told me you wanted a slouchy-lounge-y-splodging-roomy-wear-at-a-cabin sweater.”
“Hon, didn’t I tell you? I was on that diet.”
“What diet?”
“You know…. that diet where I eat like a teen age girl about to go on a first date with her Mr.McDreamy diet.”
Huh?
“Remember, the lettuce leaf washed down with IPA I was having for supper that week a couple of months ago.”
“That was a diet? I just thought you didn’t like my quinoa-green pepper-yellow squash-potluck casserole-enuf-for-leftovers recipe I downloaded from Pinterest.”
The picture looked like it was tasty.

And..he’s not thrilled with buttons.
“They’re a little rustic.”………OMG!!!!

SOooooooo: changing buttons to silver.
And I shrunk it.

I should change the name of this project Never again Sweater

After being worn numerous times,(otherwise, his ‘cabin’ would be traded for a doghouse)this Shelter Timberline is droopy, and out of shape.With all the cabling, and as lightweight as woolen spun yarn, the sweater is heavy. I believe it would benefit from side seams, for the structure.

when worn on a cold windy day, it was observed to not provide warmth to the wearer which was disappointing.
Next time with Shelter, knit at tighter gauge and go up a size to accommodate as yarn blooms .
