After a late-night trip to Starbuck’s the night before last – I swear I got decaf! – I was buzzed until one a.m., so…
Suki is complete! I added buttons to the straps when I sewed them on, to make it both more secure and prettier. Don’t ask me why I had several white star buttons sitting in my sewing supplies – no, really, don’t ask me, because I honestly have no recollection of why I bought them! I’m not as happy with how this one felted – the white yarn didn’t felt up as uniformly as the blue and the purple, even though they are the same type of yarn. Maybe they bleach the white, and that alters the fiber somehow? I do like the over-all look, though. |
…and, my first aran afghan square is done and ready to be blocked! It ended up a smidge bigger than expected, but as long as they’re all approximately the same size, it shouldn’t matter. Now I have to decide which of the other great squares in the book to try next! |
Hi,
apparently white yarn almost never felts at all. There was a big white yarn felting brouhaha on a knitting blog a few months ago. If I can remember the url, I’ll let you know.

I think the star buttons add a lot. That was the first thing I noticed. They give it a really polished look.
The bag is super great! Whatchutalkinabout?!
I swear, Sarah, you just blow me away…
it might bug you – but from picture distance it looks just fine! :) and the aran square is GORGEOUS! love it
