Below are my perfect buttons. My friends at Wild and Wooly are to thank for these. They are almost the same color purple as the yarn. So fabulous...
Here's a shot of the cool lace detail down the front. I might use this in a scarf soon. It's a simple ladder, but it's so easy to do, and looks great.
And... here's how big and boxy it got on me - you can't really see well, but trust me. It's supposed to be pretty fitted. And it ain't.
It grew sideways, but the length is still perfect. Which proves it was a blocking issue. Am thinking of knitting it again, but casting on less stitches and making it narrower. Hmmm. The way I figure, I just need to measure the existing sweater and count off.
Think that will work?
Then Jo Sharp 2's cardigan will be just like Zephyr's Green Gable.
A pattern so nice, I knit it twice!
oh and about the mice... the exterminator came today and loaded up our basement with enough poison to kill the entire mouse population of Boston. We'll see if they go away now.... he says it takes about a week. Which explains why Zoe saw one run across the floor this afternoon...
