Button, Button, Who Has The Button?
So close to being done so many things that it makes me excited to think of all the projects I can cast on for in January. After all, the only reason I finish things is to start something new!
In no particular order, here is what the hell I have been up to:
- The Buttony Sweater is finished, but not very buttony at all. None of the ones I have are good enough, I am on the hunt.
- Cami has been extended, only need to do the finishing and straps. I have thought of an AWESOME idea for this (I reserve the right to be proven wrong if it doesn’t turn out as planned) and should have it done this weekend. JOY.
- The Wrap with Sleeves is now my new travel project considering I do NOT HAVE SOCKS ON THE NEEDLES. This is weird for me, but also good for helping me clear out my queue. I shall not cast on a sock until the wrap thing is done.
- I have lots of ends to weave in on these, but they are “done”:
- They will have a matching hat:
- I have finished one of these with some remaining handspun I had kicking around that was begging for a purpose in life:
- It happens to have a very cool wooden oblong button:
- I only have the hat, the ends to weave in on the mittens, and a childs pair of mitts to make and then I will be done all my holiday knitting. This should all be done by the weekend. Then, my pretties, I am going to knit the fuck out of some lace edging. I know! I can’t wait either.
- The stash diet is still going strong, I am amazed by my will power. Although, now it’s more of a case of finding the self-restraint satisfying. If I start buying leather garments and whips please stop me.
- I am still not spinning. Not with all this knitting going on! But soon.

Oooh! I love the Calorimetry (however you say that)! That button is great, and the yarn is really beautiful. And, the mitts turned out great. They really ARE so squishy! Okay, I’m done gushing. Good work.

Now I want socks! A new idea for me to harp on…to no avail. This hot chocolate is still too hot to drink 45 minutes later!

Clever conclusion referring to Button, Button, Who Has The Button?. My mother and I appreciate your story, it is immensely essential specifically for Aliso Viejo citizens.
