That's right, Twist is all sewn up and is now blocking. The buttons are only there for effect--I will sew them on once the sweater is dry, then take a photo of the finished product (hopefully on me). Have any of you seen the article on finishing by Veronik Avery in the Spring 2008 issue of Interweave? I highly recommend it. I have never been completely happy with my armhole seams and always dreaded this step but she has a really great method for attaching a set-in sleeve, using different stitches for the various parts of the armhole. I tried it on this sweater and am extremely pleased with the results. I just love picking up new tricks and techniques with different projects--there always seems to be something new to learn.

It looks terrific!
Thanks for the finishing reference. The one I have found so far that has been the best is Janet Szabo's
