ack, the buttons

Saturday, July 30th, 2005 | accessories, knitting, spinning

The buttons, they are enough to drive one batty (see previous post). What’s worse than sewing on 21 buttons? Having to rip out a bunch because someone didn’t space them correctly.

Anyway.

In spinning – I finished up the Nectarine wool, and it is beauuutiful.

It’s 288 yards, and very similar to the sherbet merino I did up earlier. I think I’ll try to combine them in a project somehow.

I’ve also started a new project.

Yep, an OSW – but it’ll take more than one skein, because I’m going to put sleeves on it. I’m using Knitpicks Shine, and it’s so soft and lovely! Plus, it doesn’t split – no more splitty yarns for a while, thanks.

P.S. It’s done. It fits. It’s gorgeous. Pictures soon.

WOW! That sherbet color is so cute! I can only imagine how soft it is. How about mittens?

Ooh, that does suck to have to rip out buttons. That’s no fun at all.

The OSW is so fun. I just finished one in red and the first one I made out of a taupe color. I’m thinking I will do one in black, too, but maybe not this summer, we shall see.

The Nectarine yarn combined with the sherbet color is just gorgeous.
