The last knitting on the cardigan is as I began, the raised rib. One and a half inches of each of three needle sizes. First is a small needle so that the yoke won't gap. Then the next size up to encourage the collar to curl. Now, I'm on the last needle change, the largest of the three, to flare the collar.
I try not to think that it will be done today or tomorrow or even this week. I know that there bits left to do, ends to tie, even after I finish the collar.
I pulled out my button box. I have a few possibilities. But I may not have the right size. I do need eight buttons, all alike.
I think back to sweaters that my grandmothers knit. Often they would crochet yarn around plastic circles to make buttons that matched. Maybe I should see what is in fashion for knitwear buttons?
So many things to think about, as this project winds down. I try not to be distracted.
