Cotton Candy Baby Sweater Complete


You can never have too much yarn in your stash nor can you have too many buttons.  I had great fun digging through the button jar, the button box and yet a button container.  Sometimes I wish I had more buttons but today, well, I had plenty to choose from.


I love how the red buttons make this sweet little sweater POP with color.  So cheerful.  Now that this cardigan is finished I have one more skein in left and I'm toying with knitting a bonnet to match the sweater.  What do you think?  I really don't want to make booties in cotton....my hands!!

    Karen, what a sweet sweater! I love the buttons, they are the perfect accent! Oh, how I wish I had more patience for knitting. I'm thinking of unraveling the sweater I started two years ago because I have forgotten where I left off. This is a constant problem for me, I have so many interests that I never sustain focus for very long. : )

    I wish I had enough buttons! I always have to go buy what I need. Do you have enough yarn to make an Aviatrix? That's my go to baby hat.

    What a sweet sweater for a lucky baby! I can spend lots of enjoyable time looking through my button box. I got it from my grandmother and have added to it, so it always conjures up lots of lovely memories.

    Aw it's so sweet, what a lovely gift :) I think a matching bonnet would be a lovely idea but it looks gorgeous on it's own too

    Adore the sweater! The yarn - the sweet red buttons. I'm a huge button lover - have a collection of old ones I've picked up in antique stores here and there... I don't use them - just like to look at them! LOL!

    I should really use them...

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
