Dusky Nor'easter - One Skein Done

I've used up one skein on the body, and have started the second skein.  I'm about 8.5 inches in, and about half-way to where I will join the sleeves.  Here is the front, so you can see my buttons.  I add them as I go the same way I would add beads.

Once I get through the body shaping I'll study the next phase of the pattern.

Pattern:  Nor'easter by Thea Colman
