I've finished my first successful stranded knitting project and I couldn't be more thrilled.
The pattern is Baby Snowflake by The Cozy Knitter and is absolutely lovely.
I learned a couple new techniques...and now I want to put the delightful "latvian braid" on everything.
And the back is just as lovely as the front.
Note, the super bright colour!
In progress:
So many buttons. My stockpile is quite low so I'm hustling to get a bunch finished in time for people to add to their Christmas gifts and other cold weather knits.
Pictured, these are the same as this pendant, which I have had several requests to turn into buttons.
Won't it make an adorable large button?

Two absolutely beautiful projects!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that leaf as a pendant is gorgeous. Do you make them with just one hole at the stem end?
ReplyDeleteI sure can, Chris. If you need some, let me know in the next couple of days and I can get them through the next kiln firing. They would be finished in about 3 weeks.
DeleteLove both of these! The colors are fantastic together - so cozy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitting!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking those leaves would be perfect on a sweater I'm making but I think the button holes may be a bit small...
Emma, I actually put larger than normal holes in these buttons as I figured they would be on larger knits with bulkier yarns. When they come out, I can send you a little message with the diameter of the holes if you like...or I can make some up this week that have even larger holes. If I know how many you would need by Friday, they will make it through this coming kiln firing.
Deleteoh my! such a beautiful knit!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty. I love the mittens
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mitts with great colourwork. And the leaves are gorgeous.
