I finally finished it. I just need to block it. Things I have learned after knitting this sweater:
- there is a better way to decrease for sleeves, and I didn't figure that out until after I did them.
- I can make up the pattern for the collar and it will still look fine
- my shoulders are broader than I think.
- seaming, while not terrible, is kind of bulky and ugly. Next sweater will be a seamless raglan.
- I am never going to enjoy sewing buttons, no matter how cute they look on Ravelry.
- I really, really hate sewing in ends.

It is beautiful! Congrats on finishing your first sweater!
hello:)
some use a thinner yarn in a matching color to seam bulky items :) Elizabeth zimmermann said she did do it!
hope this helps.
you can back stitch to begin with, it worked for me for years, till i saw the "invisible seaming" online, but that will come in due time.
