And just in time, too!
Phew! I made it just in the nick of time! Grandma’s sweater is done! And it’s awesome! (And that’s a lot of exclamation points!)
I finished the sweater with exactly 52 inches of blue yarn left. It was a nail-biter, let me tell you. (I’m all about reducing waste, but this was ridiculous.)
But all’s well that ends well, right? The sweater has turned out beautifully! The Biggo yarn I used blocked up wonderfully. And, I’m so glad I made the change from dark gray to light. It turned out so much better than it would have otherwise.
I even found the perfect buttons! They’re bright pink, to match the snowflakes, and just a tiny bit sparkly (the photos don’t do them justice). I drove all over Seattle looking for them, and, when I found them, I thoroughly freaked out the clerk who helped me find them by doing a little happy dance. It was exciting, what can I say?
Now I just have to wait and see if it fits! Cross your fingers for me!

Love it and I’m sure your Grandma will too!
I hope so! Cross your fingers for me that it fits!
It’s gorgeous!
Thanks!
Yippee!!! I love when buttons are just perfect! So many times I seem to settle on something. She will love it.
I know, right? I was just about to give up, after visiting several craft supply stores in the city. But I tried just one more, and what do you know- there they were!
It’s just fantastic!!!! How fun!!!!
Thanks! I’m so happy with how it turned out!
