Too Many WIPs!!!!


I've got too many WIPs (works in progress) sitting around my loft! Here's one of them that I started back in December, was going to wear for Christmas, ha! It's a cardigan, I'm using about 10 different yarns in various shades of red. The body is knit all in one piece so there aren't tons of ends poking out everywhere. I love it, so not too sure why I stalled. The collar will be asymetrical. Aha, just remember why I stalled: can't decide what button to use, therefor don't know what size of buttonhole to knit. Might be better just to use a loop instead of a buttonhole to make it adjustable in the future. I need a spectacular button that is very lightweight. Most spectacular buttons are heavy.

I once used a felted bobble ( made from "Point-Five") as a "button" . I rolled it in my palm then threw into boiling water , scooped out into iced water ...back into boiling for a few seconds and so on for a few minutes. I then rolled it in my palm until sure it was tight .
