This is my first attempt at my Three Button Wrap, using Claudia Hand Painted worsted in Roasted Chilies. It was frogged because the needles I used were too small and the resulting drape wasn't comfortable.
I restarted it with size 10 needles and it was perfect. It didn't take too long to finish. I still need to block it, weave in the ends, and crochet around the buttonhole. And I need to see if that dog head is still stuck to it.
I used exactly 3 skeins of Claudia's worsted, 504 yards.
As soon as I finished that one, I cast on the second, which is now half done. I love these things! Same yarn, same needles. It's a totally mindless knit, great for watching tv or movies or knitting in the car. This one is for a co-worker; the first one is mine-all-mine!
I haven't even looked for buttons for these. I want something unusual, and they have to be 2.5" each. I may get my daughter to make some from Sculpey, however that's spelled. She's artistic and could make something really cool.
