Speaking of finishing off projects, I am really on a roll lately.
I’m still knitting on my Papaya sweater like a fiend, but I took a break yesterday to update the last little finishing touch on my Mini-Picard Sweater.
In case you forgot, I made a teeny little cardigan, inspired by my favorite Starfleet Captain, Jean-Luc Picard. I broke out the red and black sock yarn and teensy little needles. I knit the whole thing up, blocked it and added buttons, and a row of little gold Captain’s pips on the collar.But the gold buttons I had bought were too big! They looked awkward and funky. They were only a quarter inch across, but they were too much for such a teeny sweater!
So, I took another trip to JoAnn’s this weekend and picked up the teensiest gold buttons I could find. And, voila! Perfection!
Or at least close enough to perfect that I’m super happy with how they turned out! Now my little sweater is fit for a tiny captain, and I couldn’t be more pleased!
Have you ever made a small change that has completely changed your opinion of a finished object?
The new buttons add the perfect punch to the cardigan.
