Sweater Success!

So I have been knitting. Slowly. And while it's not quite finished, I do actually love it. but its a little warm for modelling currently.

So the details.

Garter Yoke Cardigan

Yarn: Knitpicks City Tweed HW, Dungarees (5.5 skeins)
Needles: Knitpicks US8
Size: Medium

I should have changed the neckline of it a bit, making it smaller, but I think adding the buttons will help it. If not I'll pick up some stitches and and knit some more. I do need to finish weaving in the ends, blocking and buttons. Suggestions for color of the buttons. I've considered using orange buttons, so not my personality typically, but I love the tweed goodness with some orange. I've also considered wood and black. Any suggestions?

Love the feel of the yarn and can't wait for a chance to wear it this fall. And I have 2.5 skeins left to figure out something to do with them. Suggestions?
