Ta, Da

Look at that. This 6×6 Cardigan is finished. Yes, I am doing the bring and brag thing. I’m so happy to be done.

Is finishing a moment for you too?

Now I am button shopping. I used removable markers to hold the sweater together for this photo. What do you think – purple buttons or something bright, like orange, to contrast with the sweater?

The othere up side to finishing is that I get to cast on something new. Hallelujah!

Sweaters take a long time to knit, and I was really working at sticking to it. Now, I will block it and sew on the buttons, as soon as I buy some, that is.

The relief to be able to start something new is great!!!

Hope your knitting is going well too.

Cheers,  Deb

I'm a Knitter. The capital K means every day, everywhere. I started designing as co-owner of Cabin Fever with my sister Lyn. We have published over 160 patterns and 11 books. I'm also working on a new set of patterns for Any Gauge or Gauge-free knitting so you can dive into your stash and cast on for a Top Down sweater that fits, or an accessory to use up those odd balls of yarn.

  4. I love it!! And it’s just my color – how ’bout green buttons – the African Violet effect . . . . although, I think orange would be great. And I think I want the pattern too!

    1. Good question. I make the buttonholes as a YO, K2tog. Then I take the sweater to a store with buttons and try different buttons through the hole. Generally, for DK weight yarn I expect a 15mm button will work. Shopping for buttons this week so we’ll see if that works.
