I am glad to know I am not the only one who kit casts on tightly.

I'm sure if I took the time to address that issue when I'm making the buttonhole maybe I would change my mind.  So I resort to other options such as ties, snaps, or a loop that goes around the button.  Many cardigans are styled without buttons as mentioned earlier, so this has made me give some thought to trying to make a sweater.

If I were to do another sweater I would use a top-down method with as few seams as possible.  I'm more inclined to try a baby sweater before I tackle one for myself or anyone else.

Because a baby sweater does not take as long to make, everyone might be better able to keep up.  A few months later there could be a second class on how to make a baby cardigan.  If you do not have a baby to gift the sweater to, then maybe we can turn this into a charity project and donate the sweaters.
