I'm really pleased with the finished sweater, back nipples aside, which I'm told may vanish once it's blocked. I'll be honest, I didn't block it before taking these photos, I just wanted to wear the bloody thing after a year in the making!
The yarn is an unknown tealy-green that Andrew's dad bought me from the Inverness car boot sale. Classy, right? He paid a princely £2 for it and I've still got at least half left. Matching sweaters ahoy! No, not another year of knitting with 4 ply...the horror...
I had several buttons in my stash that I wanted to use but the button hole is actually pretty small, so I was limited. I like this tartan fabric covered button though, no clue how it came to be in my stash. I think my buttons are breeding. At the very least, they're not using protection.
All in, it's been a productive weekend on the creativity front. I also made sushi for the first time (and ate it in the bath with the fifth Game of Thrones book, so decadent!)...
...and made prawn cocktail with the leftover prawns. I heart food.
Your buttons comment brought on a smile. I've tried sorting my buttons into colours and placed in jars. Doesn't explain how I found a blue one in my white button jar.
