I’m such a slacker. Too busy knitting to take pictures over the weekend. Plus, it got cold outside! But, for your viewing pleasure, may I present…
From left to right, the finished Anouk, a baby poncho, and marihøne, the ladybug sweater. (Please ignore the fact that each of those prominently features green and the greens all clash with each other!) Yes, I know, I finished one project and started two more. It really wasn’t intentional…
Also, I have a dilemma. Well, not really, it’s actually just a small decision to make. The orange cabled hoodie has been done for a month, with the tiny exception of buttons. My mom was kind enough to go shopping for buttons for me, and came home with a few different options, and I can’t decide which ones to put on. So, let’s pretend we’re at the eye doctor, shall we? Which is better, option 1 or option 2?
Here’s my thinking on the subject. The pumpkins are a perfect match color-wise, plus they’re round and less likely to catch on the knitted stitches. But. They sort of restrict the sweater to a couple of months out of the year. The sunflowers aren’t as great a match with the color (although it’s better than the picture makes it out to be) and they have little petals that may catch, but they make the sweater a little less seasonal. The third option would be to wait and go shopping for yet more buttons after the baby arrives.
Finally, there’s a picture up on the angel of autumn page. I’ve been diligently working on this for the past few weeks, and have made some sort of actual progress! I don’t think, though, that this will be remotely close to finished by the time the baby comes.
