How Many?


More than 240! That's how many ends there were to weave in!

2. That's how many buttons.

1. That's how many buttonholes I sewed closed (see above) when I could find only 2 matching buttons (of several types) that would work.

Yes, even with an enormous button stash. The ones I wanted to use were too big or too flat or the wrong color. Or just wrong. Just because it's for charity doesn't mean it shouldn't be perfect.

It needs a wash and block, but the knitting is done and the ends are woven.

Next, I start the alterations.

Then I do the resolutions.

Then I tabulate the FOs for 2006 and the yarn knit up and such.

Then I lie down.

But first, it's off to the Lifestyle Center (the new name for "shopping center") to return a book that the Other Half bought me for Christmas. Why? Well, because I bought him the exact same book.

Then to the grocery store. For soft food. Because I chipped a filling. On my front tooth. Again.

Happy New Year!

That sweater is gorgeous, congratulations!

And so sorry about the tooth. Eep!

My verification word is "fryzoz". Sounds like a new food ...

The sweater is so colorful and will certainly bring cheer to a child. But, oh dear, you must learn to work the ends in as you knit!

Hope the tooth can be painlessly repaired!

Happiest New Year!

:)

The sweater is stunning! You are to be commended for sticking with it (especially with all the hassles and those ends!).

Sorry about your tooth. That's a bummer. Hope you can get it fixed soon. Happy New Year!
