Top Down Sweater by Pure & Simple

The sweater I am knitting for my daughter is a top down pattern by Knitting Pure & Simple. This is what it will look like but without the hood.

Here is my progress on it as of today. Now all I need to do are the sleeves and the front bands for the buttons.

This is the coller I have choose instead of the hood. I like the look of it better.

This week I plan on working on the sleeves. I am hoping to have it done before the weather gets hot. I have been cross stitching ALOT lately. So I have decided to put down the cross stitch and pick up the knitting needles more. I have socks and sweaters and sockes and scarves and socks and I would love to try my hand at fingerless gloves...have I mentioned socks? LOL
