All done, but for the buttons.

Pattern: Button, Button, from "Minnowknits, Too" by Jil Eaton
Size: 1 year
Yarn: Random handspun from 100% wool pre-dyed roving.
Gauge: 3.5st/inch
Needles: Size 11

Some modifications to the pattern had to be made to adjust for gauge. I also always make two specific modifications to this pattern as written: I do the three needle bind-off for the shoulders with the right sides facing so that the seam is on the inside of the sweater, and I knit the sleeves in the round after picking up stitches from the sides.

So far, no luck with finding the right buttons for this. If anyone knows of any good online sources for buttons that they could recommend, I'd really appreciate your input!
