Jill, I love the little red sweater. It’s wonderful the way it is. The buttons look fine. I do the same thing, find fault with my own work. I think we just stare at it so long that every little flaw (or imagined flaw) becomes bigger in our eyes.

Glad to find your blog. Also, good luck with your new knitting group. Ours started with 3 people, but one lady stopped coming. But we just kept meeting in a coffee shop and eventually “grew” more knitters. We’ve been meeting for 18 months now, and we have almost too many - well, we are up to 13 or 14 total members, but several of them don’t come every time. On an average meeting, we have about 8 people actually there.

I’m surprised you don’t get more staring, your eyes are such a bright blue that they really stand out in a crowd. The sweater is so cute and I need to follow your lead in the color choice and break out of my baby colors for babies rut.

that red sweater is so sweet. I’ve been knitting baby bibs from Mason-Dixon book like a mad woman. Got 4+ peeps pregnant and it seems like every time I turn around someone else is preggers.

It’s gorgeous! You know, we’d love to have you at the Stitching for Sanity meet-ups. Maybe some day?

The sweater looks great and the buttons are fine! I totally know what you mean about not going places. I do that all the time and I always regret it. What list were you on where you found the person to start a knitting group? I’ve been wanting to find one.

Is that the Higher Grounds group? That’s about as far from me as the Five Forks group. I’m going to try to come, but I know what you mean about it being a pain to drive off somewhere. I’m driving around all day these days, and some nights the thought of makinge one. more. trip. is almost enough to push me over the edge.

Hey! I’ve got some ends you can weave in!
The sweater looks adorable, and the buttons look fine. Go for it with the knitting group, even if it starts small at first - it’ll get bigger and bigger before you know it.
At least you realised that you wouldn’t wear the garments before they were done. I finish it, *then* say “What the hell was I thinking???”
