revvin' up to finish a project

finally decided to try my hand at non-assisted yarn winding. worked out pretty well...

I love buttons!

I finally finished Brenna's poncho! It is a simple two panel pattern in my favorite Brown Sheep wool color, Orchid. However, it needed a little something. I went to Stitches to see what they had in the ribbon department but I found these button kits that use whatever fabric you like to cover a button. Way cool! I first wanted to go green floral (of course). I think the inspiration came via the cutest earrings ever. But I then saw this purple-n-orange floral and that was it! I will take pics of Brenna in her poncho. It looks great on her.

And I'll be putting custom buttons on everything! My next project is a fitted cardigan that calls for three very cute buttons!
