I'm very happy with how this project turned out. I love the yarn and the colorway as well. This is for my niece, who's expecting a baby girl in October, so I believe the sizing will be right.
I'm not much into buttoning lots of buttons (especially when a wiggly little one is involved) so I opted instead to add a single button and button loop.
I got the idea for this closure from Allison. She did a similar one on a garter stitch baby sweater and I loved it. You can recreate this on your next sewing or knitting project, too. Just follow the instructions on Ysolda's blog and you'll be good to go.
I consider completing this little sweater an accomplishment for me. I've never found EZ's patterns to be, well, easy, so making it through to the end makes me happy. Now I need to get my act together for some fall knitting (socks and mittens, anyone?).
Project notes: Sweater pattern from Knitter's Almanac by Elizabeth Zimmerman. Knit on size 4 Addi turbos. Dream in Color Smooshy sock yarn, Petal Shower colorway.

It's so beautiful! And I have trouble with EZ patterns, too. I know everyone raves about how brilliant she was and the unique way she would do things but I often get confused.
