wow! That is such a beautiful sweater. My only question is about closure. I find that I often knit pullovers because I don't want to deal with either sewing in zippers OR having a garment that just doesn't close. I guess this one could be closed with a shawl pin? In spite of the fact that i'm not sure i'd wear it, i want to make it so much. it looks like delightful knitting! (and of course in malabrigo....yum!)
You could wear it open or fasten it with a pin either underneath or on top or possibly add a button.
