I finished the dang thing. It's for my coworker's son in Hong Kong. As you can see, I realized after I had sewn on the button the first time, but before I wrapped it up and shipped it off, that I had reversed the sides of the sweater. DOH!
After staring at the finished item (pre-button) I realized I just did not have the motivation to crochet around the edges, as the Berroco pattern describes. Oh well. It still looks nice.
But I was really pleased with the button I had in my stash from Mom's gigantic drawer of notions. It's very organic-looking and goes well with the yarn colors and fibers (100% cotton). I have one more of them floating around in the button bottles.
And now, I should attempt to go to sleep...and NOT try to restore the contents of my lobotomized Palm Pilot: I had to reformat the whole thing today because the screen locked and would not work no matter how many times I rebooted it. Evidently, this problem is not unknown (*snort*) as the Palm site recommends a hard reset (i.e., reformatting) if all else fails.
