Buttons have been installed.
It's been soaked, blocked and even worn once.
It is like a warm hug when you have it on. So very soft and cozy.
But I need some opinions on those buttons. Are they too big? It seems like when I put it on, all I see are the buttons. I don't notice the lace or any other thing about it...just the buttons. Are they wrong somehow for this sweater? Should I go on another button hunt?
I made myself some fingerless mitts. They seem to be all the rage. And so I followed the herd. But I wonder at their practicality...especially for someone who has cold fingers and not so much cold hands or wrists!
But maybe they will be good at work this winter. They were fun to knit and quick as a bunny!
There is yet another Iceling in my future. Everyone seems to be having boys! This one will look like a double breasted navy blue blazer. And since the baby is due in December, I'll make the hat and I found patterns for thumbless mittens and booties and will make them also depending on leftover yarn amounts.
And these poor socks have been started once going toe up and they ended up just huge so I frogged and now they are the usual pattern and a size smaller needle. Now I'm afraid it might be a little small. Uff.Anyway, let me know what you think about those buttons.
