I finished the 2nd sleeve AND I found my buttons!! Lots of sewing awaits me tomorrow, and edging and sewing and more vacuuming and laundry (UGH!), but the actual main crocheting part is complete and I love my buttons! So here's the 2nd sleeve (hopefully you think it looks just like the first one!!). And 
here's all the panels & sleeves laid out together (with my wonderful buttons!).... it's starting to look like a sweater!!So my button story....I headed off to my LYS after my kids'
piano & music classes. I had 4 different sales people helping me find buttons!! One friendly fellow was rather disappointed that I didn't want frog or flower or mushroom buttons - nothing alive. I'm so boring!!Anyway, we looked at several. I kept drifting back to the rack of silver buttons and then the LYS owner found these. I think they're perfect. The square shape & openwork design match the sweater stitch. I love it! (Did I mention I'm happy with my buttons?)
