Ahhh, these pinks…just about as fun as blues!
Might have to grab a 60” long 2.25mm needle from my LYS

Short rows completed and a few more raglan increases still to go before separating sleeves.

This did not get much traction while I worked on my Crevetten…but back at it lately.

Knitted on body until it measured 8” from underarm (seven buttonholes so far) and then switched to sleeve knitting as a diversion.

First sleeve finished…second one in progress.

With the world in such scary times, I was brightened today by the arrival of the vintage, shell, cat’s eye buttons I purchased for this beautiful Bohus cardigan design. They arrived in a tiny, tidy box from the UK and were beautifully wrapped in tissue and sealed with a logo-ed sticker.

The postage of £3.45 or approx. $4.50 USD, was surprisingly modest for 24 buttons at the cost of $9.15 USD so it really wasn’t that much of a splurge relative to the yarn. These buttons are very nearly identical to the ones on the vintage designs I’ve been in contact with and I will be very excited when the cardigan is finished and I can sew them onto this cardi as well as the next since there are plenty for two!

The Etsy provider, McBurney and Black, can be found here. I will shop there again and I see they still have more of these buttons for sale!
