Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of
this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people
are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or
crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it
either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo
with the rest of us!

Above is my artfully-arranged photograph du jour.
And here is the photo I really want to share:

It's done!! The baby's sweater is done! All it needs now is a wearer!
Actually, it needs to be washed and blocked a little. And I need to find some really great buttons.
Will you help me?
What I would really like to do is get two sets of buttons - a boyish set and a girlish set - to have in reserve and ready to sew on when we are matched. I can't bank on having time to get buttons once we are matched - with Moose, he was born on a Monday, we matched on Tuesday, and picked him up on Wednesday! Those of you who visit from Ginny's place are all creative and knowledgeable about sourcing beautiful, unique, hand-crafted or lovingly repurposed crafting items, so if you happen upon this Yarn Along post today (or tomorrow, or when life slows down at the weekend . . .) I would be so grateful if you would leave a comment and tell me where you like to source really great baby sweater buttons!

Oh, and yes, I've just started reading Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise

Lovely sweater!!! I have never ordered from MJTRIM.COM but a friend has and loves their service. Good luck buttons are so hard to find anymore.
ReplyDeleteI cannot recommend any one button retailer.. I just finished a project using that yarn and I used a black button..but it was for an adult..so a plain ole nothing special button was OK..you need something fun and whimmsy!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I could help. Your sweater is lovely and I can't wait to see if on your little one.
