Wow, Amanda, Starsky looks great. You did a beautiful job and should be proud! I love the idea of using buttons rather than the belt. Love the color too. I am soooo tempted to make one now! My list is too long.

Starsky looks wonderful and the Buttons are fantastic - and I can't believe you gifted away your Swallowtail! Then again, I am recalling that I gifted away my first lace projects as well LOL.

I can NOT imagine knitting all of Starsky in a month and you also added in that cute little raglan! I bow before you.

(Both look amazing!)

Both sweaters look great, but WOW, I believe your Starsky has just tipped me over the edge and now I will have to make it. I have even started looking for the perfect yarn :-)

Love the button band it makes the sweater perfect.

The Starsky is gorgous. The detail is beautiful. I have to put that sweater on my list of to dos. I also like the raglan. The buttons were a great idea. It's always hard getting those types of sweaters over the child's head is the opening is not large enough.

I wish I had a sweater like that.
