Weather and so so button bands.

Ok, so the weather stinks. It rained yesterday. Yes. Rain. Like a summer rain. My youngest DS said it would be a nice rain if it was July. Very true. This time of year rain makes very slippery ice. Like glass with olive oil on top. Cars travel wherever they darn well please. Feet do the same. It was supposed to snow overnight and I personally was hoping it would and possibly provide slightly better traction. No such luck. It didn't snow but it DID get extremely foggy. Now we can't SEE where we aren't intending to go!

TaDa! I have the button bands done on the Everyday Sweater! They match up pretty well. I am NOT frogging to improve things. The buttonholes are a little messy. And a little tight. Maybe in the long run that is a good thing. The tightness. Not the messiness. Messy is usually not ever good. I'm accepting the messiness and the slight wonkiness of it all though because 1) I've never made buttonholes before (except on baby sweaters...yo k2tog)and 2) never cast on during a row before. Let's call it a learning experience. And it doesn't look bad unless you do a really closeup look and if anyone does that they need to get a life!

I did try the sweater on and it's looking a little snug but I think with a few well placed tugs, um, yanks, maybe puuullls while blocking will help fit it around these H-I-P S of mine. Well, and S-T-O-M-A-C-H too. Uff.

Apparently I have something going on with capital letters today.....
