Nervous

Not too long ago I saw this adorable baby sweater on the Posie Gets Cozy Blog and decided that I just had to make one....


And today I finished it! Of course I see everything in color so mine doesn't look exactly like hers.

 First I made the whole sweater without the buttonhole placket in the front...


Then I marked the placket opening and sewed two parallel reinforcement lines with my sewing machine.

Now this is where I got nervous....I cut between the line with my scissors!


WHOA!!! 


That was scary!!  Next I crocheted the placket complete with buttonholes...


And then came the fun part....picking out the buttons! Should I go with these?


Or these....


Or these?


Or should I go with metal buttons?  No...too heavy.


Too bad there's only 2 of these...


Or THESE!!!  Although they are a little girlie.


I finally made my decision and sewed them in place.


Oh yeah.....that's what I'm talking about!


Too bad it doesn't look good on the cat...


I guess I'll just have to give it to a friend that's expecting a baby boy in a few months!
