It went quite well although I had never done an I-cord bind off and especially one with buttonholes but You Tube saved the day.
I didn't have luck with the one-row buttonholes. They would have been MUCH better looking than the 2 row that I did but since the buttons are big you can't see them while the sweater is being worn anyway. That is my only comfort.
It is a sweet cardigan and yet so manly with the double breast front and shawl collar. I like the pattern but have a bit of a frustrated feeling left over from the problem with the buttonholes. That is my problem though and not the pattern's!
The hat only took 3 hours to knit and it is just what I was looking for. Simple but with the turned up edge for warmth.

The only thing left is to show it to the baby's Dad, who is working for us this summer, and get the address in Moldova where baby will be born. Then it's into the mail for this sweet set!
