wayfaringwordhackFinished the sweater! Woot!
No photos yet because the model is in bed, but hopefully I can post a couple tomorrow. The pattern, as I've stated many times, needs serious work, and I don't know that I have the time or energy to put into "fixing"* it and making a tutorial to help out any other people who might like to try their crochet hooks at it. I would have loved to, though. Priorities, priorities.
Glad to have that project off my hands.
Come Sunday I hope to have writing progress to post here.

* By fixing it, I mean not only make the directions clearer but adjust measurements to fit kids as I know (have) them. I made the 18-24 month size, and it is understandably a bit long for Junebug, but Sprout, who is 4.5 can wear it. I can barely button it around Junebug's waist, even after adding rows to the buttonband. The sleeves were also too narrow at the wrists. I upped the size to the one for 36 month-olds and STILL had to add rows up the sides to make the sleeves big enough...
