Frebruary Lady Sweater—Ta-da!

You can call it the second full sweater I’ve ever made, if you like. I’ll just call it February Lady. Everyone’s making it, and with good reason. I’ve worn this here FO a couple times already, and it’s so comfy. It’s a lot like wearing an afghan, but in a good, cozy way. The first day I wore it, I wore it to work. On this day, I was invited by co-workers to go to my favorite burger place (Ferrans—get the Motherlode), but I had to refuse because although the burgers are awesome, you will come back smelling like a burger and everything you wore mush be washed. I was not ready to launder February Lady.

For yarn I used Ella Rae Classic from my LYS, which is kind of like yarn brand yarn. You know, regular worsted in lots of colors. I picked the yarn color to match the fabric I used to cover the buttons. These are Liberty-covered buttons, and I love ‘em. Fan-say. The idea comes from this flickr photo by lil’ girl blu. I just thought it was so cool that I wanted it. I’ve thought about putting liberty buttons up in my well=neglected etsy shop, but I haven’t yet. In this photo I am apparently doing my thing—allegedly being both cute and dorky. Photo by Elie.
