Kimono Musings

Some thoughts on the kimono sweater. The pattern is in the Summer 2005 Interweave Knits. I used 3.25mm addy turbo needles and a bit less than two skeins of Koigu sock yarn for the sweater.

I waffled back and forth for awhile on the buttons. In the end I decided that I would just sew them on as securely as possible, since little ones invariably put them in their mouths. But then if I had used ribbon that would have been in the mouth too. I like the buttons though.

I took Fiona over to the mall for a Build A Bear birthday party today. Since Shannon and I were just kind of hanging around for the afternoon, I treated her to a build a bear experience, as well as making myself one. As you can see from the above picture, I think that my new bear needs a kimono sweater too.
