The choice in yarn made the sweater drape-y which I like a lot. It's a very casual, mellow-type sweater that works really well with jeans (because of the colour mostly). I got the buttons from raiding my closet, trying to clean out clothes. I found a pair of khakis I bought from Urban Outfitters maybe four years ago. It had five perfect sized, perfect coloured buttons. I felt like I hit the jackpot. I'm so glad I never threw those pants out despite the oil stain I had on it.
I took these pictures a while ago but wasn't happy with them to begin with. As much as I love this sweater, it's not photogenic :(
My goals for 2008: take up gardening and learning how to sew. If I can do one of these things, I'd be a very happy woman.
