This weekend, after a good night’s sleep and several calming breaths, I actually managed to (nearly) finish my Persistence is Key Sweater!
I even wove in all my ends and blocked it!
It fits almost perfectly (although it’s oddly long in the armpits, which is strange, but I think if I re-block it, that might fix that up. And if it doesn’t, I’ll just have to live with long armpits. There’s no way I’m ripping it out and re-doing this whole sweater.) And, I absolutely love the cable on the back. It’s gorgeous!
And I’m really happy with the little touches of garnet-colored yarn that I added to the cast-off edges (collar, cuffs and hem). I think the added color really make the sweater special.
Now, I just have to pick out some buttons.
I’m terribly indecisive when it comes to these things, so I want your opinion! Should I get buttons that are:
Antique silver?
Garnet red?
Wooden/coconut/bone?
So many options, and only one button band. What would you use?
Red maybe?
Garnet red if they are the exact match of the edging otherwise antique silver.
Good point! The wrong red could ruin the sweater.
Antique silver…Classy
Garnet red 🙂
