I am on the hunt now for some cute buttons for this one too. I would LOVE to get some cute fabric covered ones like the one's from Bread and Buttons but the etsy shop is still closed, or those lovely heart ones from Wooly Moss Roots, but they are just a bit out of our price range, still... maybe.
Oh, and I messed up on the straps. LOL I stitched the one strap set closed that was on the button side. So now you have to pull it over the head. Oh, well.
I haven't been reading much. For some reason I just can't get into any books. I even went to the library and got myself a few books. I wish I could figure out the reading and knitting thing... that would be great!
Now, for the give away! This is some sweeeet yarn. It is Maxima in colorway of Mojave. The company is fair trade and supports 400 artisans in its cooperative. The yarn is 100% extrafine merino wool and kettle dyed. This skein is about 219 yards per 3.5 oz/100g. Gauge is 18-20 sts per 4 inches using size 6-8 US needles. I made a baby pebble vest and hat with a skein of this and still had a wee bit left over.
And the winner is:
Thank you everyone for entering. :)
