I finished the second Sonnet sleeve this evening!! My knitting needles are bare. I even have yarn left to seam the shoulders and sleeves. Huzzah! 
I found buttons in Grandma Nana's button collection and I think they work well for this sweater. I am really pleased with the sweater so far. Now, to put it together and brave the mirror!
*******************************************
And if an almost finished sweater weren't enough, the deer family visited this evening. (Oh, for having the telephoto lens camera at hand for moments like these!) A whitetail doe and her twin fawns browsed in the backyard for about 20 minutes this evening. They finally saw me get up to set the table---well, we have to eat, too----and hopped into the woods for dessert.
It looks great so far, can't wait to see it all seamed up with buttons.

Woohoo! Sonnet looks wonderful & those button are perfect-o! Sonnet is sort of deer colored, no?

meee too. I can't wait to see it really finished! I'm not sure about Wisconsin Sheep & Wool...I'll let you know when we finally make a decision. Do you know if it's a good place to take young kids?

Found your blog through your comment on bavgirl's blog. I read all you Sonnet posts... I'm thinking about making Sonnet for my mom. I'd love to see a picture "on".
