i actually completed one of my to dos yesterday and finally put buttons on this. i loved the yarn and the pattern so much i wanted to find the right buttons.

knit with art fibers' kyoto (silk, mohair, wool blend)
i love that there is minimal finishing. knit from the top down. fairly easy. i ended up going down a needle size on the bottom part so it wouldn't be so flared. it stretched some after blocking. i would have preferred the top section to be a little shorter. other than that i think it came out beautifully, owing much to the lovely yarn. the silk gives it a silvery sheen.
