Blueberry Progress

Still haven't made a choice on the moose buttons. Instead I've been focusing most of my creative time on Blueberry. (Okay so there was a quilt that kind of exploded onto the radar and has eaten up a lot of work time, but yarn has been hoarding my time lately so it's only fair that fabric gets a bit of revenge attention.)

I'm struggling to get a picture that accurately shows this yarn color. These are the best I can get right now, but they still aren't totally accurate. The yarn is more of a warm pacific blue than the blue showing up in pictures. I'll keep trying to get the perfect color shot so don't be surprised if the yarn looks different from week to week.


I'm almost to the sleeve cap. I think in the next day or two I'll finish the first sleeve and start the second one. I'm still using tiny needles, but everything is fitting accurately so I'm guessing gauge is just being weird this time. I've been surprised by how fast this is going. It's really no different than making a big sock.

    1. Thanks. I'm sure it's early to be thinking about buttons since I haven't even finished the first sleeve, but after the troubles I've been having with finishing my last sweater I've learned it's never to early.

    1. Thanks. It's good to know that the blue looks good even if I'm not happy with the accuracy of the picture.
