FLOWERS ON HER LAPEL
What better way to finish off a little one button cardigan than with a vintage timber and bakelite [?] button. I've been wanting to use this button ever since I got it, and it's taken far too long to actually put it on something. This little Rowan Lottie cardigan is just the right thing for it. Nestled up against Pia's neck, it is like a wonderful flower on her lapel. The wool - The Knittery wool cashmere, is just lovely for baby knits. I went up a few needle sizes and made up the 6 month size and it's turned out well for an 18 month child. She'll get the winter out of it, but not much more. And it only used a skein. I have some more of this colourway, and I've cast on for a little scarf to match, maybe even a little hat and some mittens....
lovely sweater and nice colors!...and what a little cutie!

Pia's little cardigan is gorgeous. I love the color too. I cannot believe it only took 1 skein to knit.

Beautiful sweater (love the name!) and that button (and model) is outstanding. Perfect fit with the sweater design and color.

How beautiful! That button is the final touch but it doesn't beat the model.

Oh!
I swear by that yarn..... In fact I've posted a wee bit about it on my blog in the last few days - I buy the undyed version and then food-dye it in my favourite colours..... yum.
The little jumper is gorgeous. And Max's scarf, too - love it.
