Little sweaters



 The softest sweetest little sweaters are finished. The knitting part was the easy fun part. Then to do the finish work stitching in the ends, stitching the button holes, they were called forgotten button holes because after you are done knitting you go back and make a hole between stitches bigger then stitch around the opening. That wasn’t so difficult but then to find small buttons to push through the holes was another challenge. Newer buttons are thick. I looked through my jar of antique buttons which are all thin either because that is how they were made or they were worn thin but I didn’t have six that matched and I needed two sets of six.  More fussy work of sewing buttons to hand knit fabric. No coffee until They are all attached.  Ahh finished……—Ann—

These little sweaters are just adorable. I can almost feel the softness through the computer. :)
