KnittyBug

Here is Brea almost complete. She is desperately in need of a strap. I really thought Iwould just continue the moss stitch around for the strap but I really liked the look of that handle shown on the site. Unfortunately, I think I mentioned this before, that the strap is unavailable. I searched for another source and came up with nothing. So I think I might venture to a couple craft stores this weekend and see what I find.
This is Brea’s button.



I love the detail on this button. The little loop is definitely too big and I’m not sure this button is the right fit. Again I’m looking at the pattern pic and thinking I really like that one better. Besides that this button and it’s mate might look better on something else together.

In the spirit of trying to finish things I also dusted off the Drops cardi and seamed the sides and sleaves. Oh and this is a shocker…it only took one try. I could not believe how easy it was and how nicely it turned out.
I have lots and lots of ends to weave in but I need to finish the collar first. And that’s where I’m stuck with a few holes.



Picking up stitches was too easy. As I knit around the first two rows I realized that I had a really ugly line along the back of the neck and nice big holes at the shoulders. I’m going to have to play with this to see what will work but I am hoping to have it done before this weekend….because I really want to move on.
