Great idea!<br />I too, do not care for seams. I wasn't too pleased with the side seams on the pair of purple striping fingerless mitts I just finished. I need to practice on seams. :-( <br />Love the buttons you used on both cardigans. They are just lovely.<br /><br />Enjoy your day,<br />Anne ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-30025757720440432622011-11-14T10:26:00.890-05:002011-11-14T10:26:00.890-05:00Beautiful sweaters, Karen.

The acorn buttons are perfect. :) I love the Edith Schaeffer quote; we women certainly do need to be comfortable and confident about taking time for a little "Mother Culture."

The acorn buttons are so sweet.<br /><br />The knitting video you recommended has been helpful, especially the how to fix mistakes section. Before I saw it, I had to leave mistakes in my first cap, as I was afraid I wouldn't be able to sort out all the stitches if I unravelled my work. I think her advanced beginner DVD has more details on working in the round.<br /><br />In any case, you inspire me to get to "button level" someday.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />LeighLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589995974334468664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-11676119175778224202011-11-08T13:52:44.348-05:002011-11-08T13:52:44.348-05:00Karen, I was re-reading your post and all the comm...Karen, I was re-reading your post and all the comments, when I noticed that you have a Christmas closet!

Now and again I try to sprinkle a little humor between the lines. <br /><br />One reason I was lazy about unraveling my ribbing is that I had unraveled it once already after seeing it pucker. I was so pleased with how it lay so smoothly the second time that I didn't wish to do a third. <br /><br />A cap is a good "next step" after a scarf. <br />Karen A.Karen Andreolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135239838790568639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-74189962778180806842011-11-08T10:36:06.490-05:002011-11-08T10:36:06.490-05:00I love Joseph's sweater!

I have managed to knit one scarf but not much else. I'd so love to learn and knit beautiful things for my grandchildren;) By the way, I don't think baby Joseph will be at all concerned about his buttons:)KellyinPAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-49467897471800916392011-11-07T23:33:41.124-05:002011-11-07T23:33:41.124-05:00I didn't know guys' shirts buttoned differ...I didn't know guys' shirts buttoned differently from gals' until I sewed a flannel shirt for my new husband and got it wrong. He graciously wore the shirt anyway, for many, many years. And I'm sure baby Joseph won't mind, he'll be snug and secure in his family's love.

I did put the button holes on the correct side, but I sewed them in horizontally instead of vertically. I was/am very frustrated, but my son grinned and said that is really didn't matter to him anyway. <br /><br />I'm working on hats and mittens for several family members for Christmas.(Circular needles and I seem to have made a sort of truce over the last few weeks.)<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-85894011325963910142011-11-07T21:35:54.738-05:002011-11-07T21:35:54.738-05:00The quote by Edith Shaeffer is exactly what all of...The quote by Edith Shaeffer is exactly what all of us as mothers should take to heart.<br /><br />Knitting and sewing relaxes me a great deal.<br /><br />In fact, during trials, these endeavors is what keeps me calm and focused.<br /><br />The sweaters you have created are just lovely!
