MG: incomplete


the floppy neck of this sweater desperately needs its buttons, but i've already stolen quite a few warm wears of it. not sure what kind of buttons, nor how the buttons will finish the sweater. i'm feeling reluctant about the finality of completing this sweater... its proportions are just a bit off; something is not quite right. it's somehow not living up to the potential i imagined. it's squooshy and comfortable and warm; it has a cable and a large swath of fabric at the neck; it's yellow. but still somehow not quite right.

  2. Wow.. I love the cable and the neckline. You could go with any sort of button depending on what feel you want.. but I would go with some sort of chunky wood one personally.

  4. And it is even more adorable on her. I actually really don't think you notice there are no buttons on the collar. But I have to agree with Mouse, if you go that route I think amazing wooden or leather ones would be cool

  5. That looks beautiful! I hope you are able to figure out what you need to feel happy with it.

  6. Thanks for the kind words about my Iris shawl--it does drape luxuriously!
