Here is a sweater I started weeks ago, then put in my closet because I got very busy,

I dug it out last week, finished and here it is!

 

Yes I  do plan on taking better pictures of it, I was just too excited

and had to show off :D

 



 

 

 

This pattern is gorgeous, it's made to be a dress but I decided

to see if it would make a nice cardigan, and it does!

The horror story!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally finished the two sweaters I've been working on for waaaay too long. I made Árni, followed the pattern in the book, washed it, dried it and then noticed... it was about 3 sizes larger than it should be!! So I started over, making a smaller size. So yesterday I was looking the sweaters over one last time before putting in the zippers and sending them out and I see, a small hole on the bottom of Aftur... My little one had snipped a few rows at the bottom with scissors... Arrrgh! What can you do though, so I held back the tears and started thinking, I figured I could undo the few rows, pick up the stitches and fix the bottom. 

 

 

                                                          My master plan worked!

 

 

 

 

And here they are all done :)

More than sweaters

 

 

Here you can see this wonderful sweater, buttoned with Nordic style, metal buttons

and neck warmers using the same pattern.

 

These neck warmers come in very handy on these windy winter days, just put them on under your jacket or coat! Not so terribly bulky like scarfs can be.

 

 

 Look up Buttercup Handcrafts on Facebook for more info and patterns!

Good Tuesday Morning!

 

 

Today I am working on a wool sweater I have just finished.... wait, what?

 

Yes, I just finished a sweater pattern named Árni, and made it according to the instructions, washed it and dried, and then found out... it was about two sizes larger than intended!!

Not sure how that happened at all, used the right weight yarn, right size needles and made by the same knitter, so there really shouldn't be any reason for this. then when I started looking at the pattern more closely I noticed that when you flip the page, the size has changed!

 

Oh well right, long story short, I have started over ;)

Again

This pattern named Again is a finer, more modern

take on these classic sweaters.

With a nice color combination you can completely

 transform a sweater and make it your own style. 





Both of these sweaters are blue ribbon winners.

Some of what I do

 

This lovely vest is called Tides.

 

It's very feminine and looks nice with

 

jeans, slacks or skirts!
