All But the Button

Who’s got the button? Because, except for sewing that on, this sweater is DONE. Woohoo!

I’ve got a stitch-marker marking the place, and then I just need to adjust the size of the buttonhole–it should take about 10-15 minutes, top.

(Interesting, isn’t it, how the color looks completely different in all three of these pictures? Same camera, same time of day, and except for the flash on that first picture, exactly the same lighting … always interesting!)

The only problem I foresee? The Karabella Aurora 8 is such a slick yarn, some of the ends aren’t behaving and are either sticking through to the right side or, in one particular case, standing straight at the unerside of the collar so that it shows when I’m wearing it. Minor quibble, I know, but really, that’s about the only thing that I’m NOT happy with at this moment (grin).

Of course, I haven’t sewn the button on yet, and you never know, I might hate it….

  1. Oh! So close, so close! Hmm, would a tiny speck of FrayCheck help control those ends? Will the finished product be tomorrow’s Eye Candy?
