Red buttons had it by a land slide. Too bad the little yellow ones didn’t photograph better. I don’t think they had a chance. But I will go with the decision of the masses. Or the five…as the case may be.

W/Red Buttons

 Here is how the rest turned out.

Grey/Blue

Chinese Tweedy

Ta-Dah! So festive!

And here are some other recent efforts...

A secret gift for someone who will remain nameless...out of Classic Elite Classic Silk (cotton, silk, nylon).

It's from the Multi-Directional Scarf pattern by Karen Baumer (free on Ravelry).  I really liked knitting this one.

A test ‘Pretty Thing’ cowl (Stephanie Pearl-McPhee). A test article, yes, but wearable. I ran short of the original (yet a leftover) skein, but made do with another leftover bit. So Berroco Alpaca Light, and Mountain Colors around the edge.  I was worried about the inherent big-noggins in ma famille, and made this one with an extra repeat.  The next one, the for-real one, I probably won't, I think.

This yarn doesn't really show the pattern, which is lacey, but not terribly hard, even though I made most of the decreases backwards.  Oh well.  Still decreases!  And that is what my test articles are for.

As for casting on things, I have a few on the needles of Iron.  Check out my Ravelry Progress Bars in lieu of photos for now.  A poor substitute, perhaps, but I am going to play the 'I have a cold' card.

(I know, I know...how hard can it be to snap a few shots and get them downloaded...and edited...and then uploaded?  Easier, I warrant, than getting film developed, but I'm sick!!!!)
