Welcome to the Must Have Too KnitAlong!

In an attempt to keep each other honest and out of the LYS, Nathania and Norma made an agreement to knit Patons' Must Have Cardigan (from the Patons Street Smart book) out of yarn in their respective stashes. As soon as they announced it on their blogs a chorus of "Me too"s was heard and so this knitalong was born. Start date is Feb. 1 and the rules are simple, just join us in knitting this fabulous cabled cardigan and record your progress here on this blog. All Must Havers will be able to post their own progress and photos. Email Nathania for an invitation to the group. Button courtesy Abby

Must Have Update

My Must Have Cardi has been marinating in the basket for a while as it's taken the back seat to a few other projects and life in general.

I've been dragging my feet on it because I just haven't found the right buttons for it. I didn't want to put it together because I didn't want to start the bands because I didn't have the right buttons. Sounds like a good excuse, eh? Well, I found the right buttons. I got these from Janette on E-bay. I was looking for buttons that were feminine.

I think they're perfect.

Here's another view:

And finally a different view, showing it with one of its siblings:

I have the sleeves on the needles right now (doing them both at the same time.) After I get those puppies done, then it's assembly time and picking up the bands and she's done!!

Oh.my.goodness, Jewel~! They're perfect. I'm so into buttons. Apparently there was a horn button display at NH that I MISSED, and I've been bummed about that. But the right buttons can really make the sweater. Your choice is wonderful; congrats!
