(Please ignore the fact that each of those prominently features green and the greens all clash with each other!)  Yes, I know, I finished one project and started two more.  It really wasn&#8217;t intentional&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Also, I have a dilemma.  Well, not really, it&#8217;s actually just a small decision to make.  The <a href=\"\/crafts\/index.shtml?och\">orange cabled hoodie<\/a> has been done for a month, with the tiny exception of buttons.  My mom was kind enough to go shopping for buttons for me, and came home with a few different options, and I can&#8217;t decide which ones to put on.  So, let&#8217;s pretend we&#8217;re at the eye doctor, shall we?  Which is better, option 1 or option 2?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/crafts\/2004\/och_buttons1.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"159\" alt=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/crafts\/2004\/och_buttons2.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"159\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my thinking on the subject.  The pumpkins are a perfect match color-wise, plus they&#8217;re round and less likely to catch on the knitted stitches.  But.  They sort of restrict the sweater to a couple of months out of the year.  The sunflowers aren&#8217;t as great a match with the color (although it&#8217;s better than the picture makes it out to be) and they have little petals that may catch, but they make the sweater a little less seasonal.  The third option would be to wait and go shopping for yet more buttons after the baby arrives.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there&#8217;s a picture up on the <a href=\"\/crafts\/index.shtml?autumnAngel\">angel of autumn<\/a> page.  I&#8217;ve been diligently working on this for the past few weeks, and have made some sort of actual progress!  I don&#8217;t think, though, that this will be remotely close to finished by the time the baby comes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m such a slacker.
