the blue blog archives: flowsies, flowsies everywhere

I found the perfect little daisy buttons to match the daisy cardigan and sewed them in last night. I'm getting the finishing done on this one a little at a time. A few minutes of seaming here, a few minutes of weaving in ends there. I still have that collar to do, but then she'll be all done and she can be on her way. Sniff, sniff. I'll miss this little cardigan. She was a real pleasure to knit.

And I fired up the Bernina again and have begun sewing my big Burda top. Look, I'm sewing my first sleeve!

(Shrug update: all nine balls knit - check back tomorrow for the big mother's day reveal!)

I love those buttons. They *are* perfect. Masters always pay attentions to detail.

The buttons are darling! And I'm really enjoying watching the Burda top take shape, too.

It is such a sweet thing when the buttons are so very perfect for a sweater. Like michells said, it is a masterful touch.
I knit a sweater driving across country years ago, and looked in every town's five and dime and craft palace looking for the perfect buttons. I ended up settling for something in San Fransisco. The sweater is tatters now, but I finally found the right buttons for it right here at the Windsor. But 11 years too late.
