This is the perfect spring sweater. 3/4 length sleeves, open airy lace to ventilate, and just-warm-enough-wool to chase the chill. Did I mention I love this sweater?!
The buttons reminded me of the silver and turquois jewelry that is found in all the knick-knack shops in Northern Michigan. They were on clearance for $0.50 each - gotta love that! But I think I need to move the 2nd button - see that ripple on the button band? I can't decide if it's because the button is in the wrong spot or if they're a bit heavy for this fabric. I might add a grosgrain ribbon facing to stabilize the button bands. In a contrasting color, perhaps? It seems to lay flat while I'm wearing it now. My 8 yr old photographer isn't into photo styling details (yet).
Spring can drag it's feet all it wants. Look for me snuggled up in blue!

beautimous! I think you should make a skirt to coordinate with that lovely color.
I think a grosgrain ribbon facing is a fabulous idea, I always like to see it in a sweater.
