Both sweater have the body completed,
and now I am on to knitting the sleeves. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks
since I started and I hope to have sweater 1 finished-- Not just all
the knitting done, but really finished.
End woven in, buttons sewn on... and
sweater 2's sleeves on needles ready to knit! These sleeves need
another inch or so, and then a cuff of garter to be done.
I have, as you see, already found some
buttons for the sweaters. I was thinking of just this style
button—and had a choice of pearl or the pink.. (and you see I went
with the pink.)
One reason was the pearl buttons were 3
to a card. Each sweater has 4 buttonholes—and the pearls (not real
mother of pearl, but plastic) were more expensive for 3 than these
(also) plastic were for 4—3 cards of more expensive buttons, vs 2
cards of less expensive ones? Well, that was a no brainer!
At the same time I was buying the
buttons, 2 small remnants found there way into my hands—a striped
print of pink and white (for some summer dresses) and some solid pink
for trim and little diaper cover panties.
Meanwhile, I still have a skirt and
jacket cut –but not a stitch sewn—and plans for more clothes.. I
better get cracking!
