Kirstin Sweater

This is one of my UFO's that I want to pick up again. The pattern is called Kirstin's Sweater and is from the Hot Knits book. It is done in Bernat Bling Bling in Moulin Rouge. I already have the back done and am almost done with the left front. So about 1/3 done. The pattern calls for a zipper, but I think I will us buttons instead, as the yarn is fuzzy and the yarn will get caught in it. I found some buttons that are plastic with holes around it, so you can weave yarn around them to match the project. Or maybe, I will just leave it without either.
