Little Friend

Here is my progress on the Twiggy Cardigan so far:

I've gotten past the sleeve separation and am working on it here and there. 

In more exciting news, I made a new friend:

Isn't he cute? His name is Burton the Button. He has 7 identical brothers and sisters who will make their happy home on the Twiggy Cardigan. That is, as long as I can find coordinating buttons for the neck. Time to get creative!

I found these buttons on Etsy in the shop Lillian Olive. The photos and descriptions are great and the service did not disappoint! Not only did I get my buttons but I got them super fast and they arrived in cute packaging, safe and sound, with a little free gift.

cuteness overload, no?

Highly recommend this shop, she has both vintage and new buttons in stock, so you can surely find what you're looking for project-wise.

Happy Tuesday!

Yay!

I got second place in the Celebrate Color contest's Yarn category!

Super excited!

I've added a couple new women's hats to the shop, simple and wearable, with just enough interest:

The Hannah and the Sarah...hee hee.

Also, Shannon of Luvinthemommyhood's new pattern, Mallory, is sweet and simple, and I just had to make one as soon as I saw it!
