It's not quite dry, and it needs the buttons sewn on, but the Must Have Cardigan is done. Aren't those fabulous buttons? I have great button mojo lately. The ones that so many people (including me) loved yesterday on...

You can thank Lene. Flight of the hamsters. Nothing to do with knitting, but oddly compelling none the less. (PS. My personal high score is 455ft. 633!!! I'm stopping now. I think.) Actually, could someone please come shut my...
