What do you think?

This pattern intrigues me.  I really love knitted things that use unconventional construction, and this sweater is just screaming at me to try.  The directions say it could be made as a cardigan, or sew the fronts together to make a pull over.  I was really hoping for some interesting pick-up and knit technique to make the left front, but that's how things go. 

My thoughts are that sewing the front together would make it very bulking and possibly uncomfortable due to the double layer right there in the front and just YIKES! I'm not so keen on sewing knitted things anyway.

So, any thoughts on what types of fastening would look nice on this beauty?

And while we're on the subject, take a look at these socks!
