This coverall is coming along nicely. I'm down to the first leg now, I use the word down because it's knit top down. Lots of plain garter stitch knitting is boring enough. The legs are knit magic loop and this is my first time trying this method. A lot easier than I thought thanks to this video .Now I have to say something about finding the right buttons for this gift. They just can't be found!! They are hiding out there. I'm looking for fairly small dog paw print buttons because the mother to be has a very large dog and we met on the laneway while she was walking him. While at the Creativfestival in Toronto recently I found what I was looking for with two exceptions, 1. they were too big and 2. they were too expensive. My search continues around the city. Today I spun/plyed the last 480 yards of my Superwash merino and figure I have enough to finish this project. My skein is in the sink soaking and then hanging over night and tomorrow then I will continue to knit the legs via magic loop. In the meantime I've received an invitation to the recipient of the coveralls baby shower. Very excited about meeting some of my neighbors.
Thanks for dropping by
